The first novel in Pulitzer Prize-winning Edna Buchanan’s riveting Britt Montero series.
Meet Britt Montero, a crime reporter for a major Miami newspaper. She practically sleeps with a police scanner by her bedside. She’s smart—and reckless—enough to pursue a story no matter where it takes her.
When a high-speed police chase leads to the death of a black football hero, Britt discovers that what seems like a cut-and-dry case is actually an intricate web of racially charged violence. As the city she loves explodes into a major riot, Britt is caught-up in life-threatening events that bring the case to its shocking twist. |
Seems to be free in the UK, too.
It might be worth mentioning that the Pulitzer was for journalism, not for fiction, though, since they seem to have missed that bit out in the book description.
