Town gossip Ava Dempsey rumors that Clark Gable will be among the participating stars. Instead of Gable, the headliner is Freddie Harrison, a B-movie star. When Freddie turns up dead in the dunk tank, Irene Ingram, editor-in-chief of The Progress Herald, starts chasing the real headline. There are plenty of suspects and little evidence. Ava's sister Angel, who was married to the dead actor, is the most obvious. The couple had argued about his affair with the young starlet Belinda Fox, and Angel was the last person to see Freddie alive. Irene discovers there's more than one person who might have wanted Freddie dead. As Irene draws on her well-honed reporter's instincts to find the killer--nothing is what it seems in Progress, and now her own deadline could be right around the corner"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Newspaper editors $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Murder $x Investigation $v Fiction. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $z United States $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Cozy mysteries. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft. 800 1 $a St. Anthony, Joyce. $t Homefront news mystery. 941 $a 6 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20231130010133.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20231114010538.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010031219.0 952 $l KQPC446 $d 20230404015248.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20221208010313.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20221206012524.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D207A412753311EDBCB8DF3E50ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
