A reporter at a struggling, small city U.S. newspaper, Dave Armitage, meets with a potential source of information, a man named Raymond Reynolds who works for the local electric company. While expecting at most a minor news tip to result, he is present when Reynolds is assassinated in a professional killing. When the assassin starts eliminating all potential witnesses, Armitage realizes that his own life is in danger and he must unravel the mystery before he himself is killed.
What deadly secret did Reynolds know? Why is Reynolds’ sister so evasive? What are the senior executives at the electric company up to? How does the killer seem to know Dave’s every move? And perhaps most surprising of all, why does his editor’s attractive secretary Grace start throwing herself at him? The many twist and turns lead to a surprising ending. **
