Bergen Evening Star reporter Natalie Joday's career is at a crossroads, until a series of riddles and clues leads to the discovery of a particularly nasty murder and helps her make up her mind: she wants whoever did it to pay. But when the trail doubles back to the Star's head office, the real mystery becomes, will there be a paper left to work for?"

Whimsical mystery. Larson knows her way around newspapers and around Bergen County. The sense of place is flawless." -Newark Star-Ledger
