FINAL COPY

In Boston, a prominent venture capitalist plunges to his death from the balcony of a downtown hotel during a biotechnology conference. The upscale mid-day murder captures the city’s imagination and starts a media feeding frenzy.

Addy McNeil, kicked off the investigative team at Boston’s News-Tribune because of sloppy work and a sleeping pill addiction, gets a chance to regain her foundering career when the only suspect in the murder turns out to be her old college boyfriend.
