Murder Straight Up: A Jack Dwyer Novel

TV news. There's the story and there's the truth. Anchorman David Curtis would never have made the big time. He was handsome in that bland, TV newscaster's way, but nothing special. Then he was murdered — on camera — and suddenly, no one at Channel 3 could talk of anyone else. But for Jack Dwyer, the ex-cop turned actor who moonlights as a security guard, it's a matter of more than talk. On duty at the station on the night of Curtis's murder, Dwyer failed to catch a mysterious intruder who might be linked to the killing. So now Dwyer's determined to crack the case. For starters, he questions the Channel 3 news team, and the secrets he unearths make the stuff you see on TV look pretty tame. Now all he's got to do is figure out who the killer is. Or lose his own life in the process.
