Front Page Murder (A Homefront News Mystery)

Synopsis

In this World War II-era historical mystery series debut by Joyce St. Anthony, small-town editor Irene Ingram has a nose for news and an eye for clues.Irene Ingram has written for her father&’s newspaper, the Progress Herald, ever since she could grasp a pencil. Now she&’s editor in chief, which doesn&’t sit well with the men in the newsroom. But proving her journalistic bona fides is the least of Irene&’s worries when crime reporter Moe Bauer, on the heels of a hot tip, turns up dead at the foot of his cellar stairs. An accident? That&’s what Police Chief Walt Turner thinks, and Irene is inclined to agree until she finds the note Moe discreetly left on her desk. He was on to a big story, he wrote. The robbery she&’d assigned him to cover at Markowicz Hardware turned out to be something far more devious. A Jewish store owner in a small, provincial town, Sam Markowicz received a terrifying message from a stranger. Moe suspected that Sam is being threatened not only for who he is…but for what he knows. Tenacious Irene senses there&’s more to the Markowicz story, which she is all but certain led to Moe&’s murder. When she&’s not filling up column inches with the usual small-town fare—locals in uniform, victory gardens, and scrap drives—she and her best friend, scrappy secretary Peggy Reardon, search for clues. If they can find the killer, it&’ll be a scoop to stop the presses. But if they can&’t, Irene and Peggy may face an all-too-literal deadline.
