DEADLINE TO DANGER
By Brad Fleming
For as long as he can remember young Jim Baxter has wanted to be a top investigative journalist like his father. When his dad is killed by a hit-and-run driver in Manchester he leaps at the offer of a job on the same local newspaper where his father worked for years. John Grant, the craggy Scottish editor, recognising the boy is a natural, provides encouragement and gives him his head. Months later the chance discovery of an old diary provides a clue that his father’s death may not have been an accident. Soon the young journalist is at the heart of an investigation into scandal, corruption and murder in high places within the community. It’s a trail which puts his own life in danger–and pinpoints him as the next target for murder.
