Killer Story - Paperback
by Matt Witten (Author)
How far will she go to catch the killer--and make her podcast a hit?
Talented and idealistic young reporter Petra Kovach is on the brink of being laid off from her third failing newspaper in a row. To save her job, she pitches the launch of a true crime podcast about a sensational, unsolved murder. Years earlier, an alt-right YouTuber was killed in her Harvard dorm room, and the case went cold. Petra knew the victim--she was once her camp counselor and loved her like a little sister, despite their political differences. Petra's investigation gets off to a rocky start, as her promising leads quickly shrivel up. In her passionate quest for justice--and clicks--Petra burns sources and breaks laws, ultimately putting her own life on the line. Even as her star rises, she worries it could all come crashing down at any moment if her actions are exposed. When her machinations start to backfire, there's only one way to fix everything and solve the murder--even though it may cost her everything she loves.
