Sign Off (Caught Dead in Wyoming mystery series, Book 1)

Description

Divorce a husband, lose a career ? grapple with a murder.

TV journalist Elizabeth ?E.M.? Danniher will tell you she committed two sins ? she didn?t stay young, and she made an enemy of a powerful news executive ? her ex. She used to break national news. Now her top story as the ?Helping Out!? reporter at dinky KWMT-TV in Sherman, Wyoming is getting a defective toaster repaired.

Tough, funny and determined, Elizabeth wrestles with isolation, keeping a professional edge, and an evolving self-image. Is Wyoming ? the land of cattle, cowboys, tumbleweeds, and fewer than six people per square mile ? her new home or a road to permanent obscurity?

Soon she?s in a battle of wills with ex-football player turned journalist Mike Paycik, who might see her as a handy rung on his career ladder or a romantic partner or both. And there?s the matter of a deputy sheriff?missing or murdered? Elizabeth finds herself investigating at the insistence of a girl who?s set on proving her father?s innocence. Not that enigmatic rancher Thomas Burrell makes investigating easy for an amateur sleuth.

But Elizabeth won?t fade to black without a fight, no matter how final some might want to make her SIGN OFF.
