Dateline Chicago

SOME REPORTERS WOULD KILL FOR A SCOOP

As a reporter with the Chicago Daily Standard, Iris Grenadine isn't just another pretty face. She has something to prove: that she's not just a broad with beauty, brains, and connections, but a journalist in her own right.

When the mayor's right-hand man is murdered in a compromising position, it's up to Iris to expose the killer. Determined to get an exclusive that could break the town wide open, she arms herself with attitude, stylish clothes, and a pearl-handled derringer.

At every turn, she comes up against opposition.

Her publisher orders her to forget the story.

Her editor tells her to write a fluff piece about an up-and-coming singer called Elvis Presley instead.

A powerful politician warns her to mind her own business.

A homicide detective elbows her out of the picture.

Her colleagues try to beat her to the punch.

The mob threatens to shut her up.

Enter Richard Starr, a private eye who holds the world record for pickup lines, come-ons, and sizzling kisses.

Iris still has a murderer to catch and a story to write. While chasing down the story, she comes up against more fat-cats, cool cars, wise guys, and car chases than the law allows.

After one corpse turns into two, and two corpses turn into three, she finds herself looking down the wrong end of a gun barrel.
