Struck by the opportunity to write a heroic piece about an everyday woman killed too young, he heads to her wake to gather tributes and anecdotes. It's the last place Ross expects to find controversy--which is exactly what happens when one of Nancy's sisters convinces him that the accident might not have been accidental at all. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt turns out that the kind and generous Nancy may have made a few enemies, starting with her boss at the diner where she was a part-time waitress, and even including the publisher of the \u003ci\u003eEagle-Examiner\u003c\/i\u003e. Carter's investigation of this seemingly simple story soon has him in big trouble with his full-time editor and sometime girlfriend, Tina Thompson, not to mention the rest of his bosses at the paper, but he can't let it go--the story is just too good, and it keeps getting better. But will his nose for trouble finally take him too far?","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67576054546655,"sku":"9781250013408","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/lYoIOvGyqQ9781250013408.webp?v=1790376960","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/girl-next-door-paperback-1","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
