About this ebook
What do long-ago murders and intrigue have to do with Terry Hartree, reporter for the Vancouver Tribune? Nothing, he would have said, until a call from a self confessed serial killer sends him in pursuit of his greatest story ever. Terry's nightmare begins on an ordinary day of handing out assignments to his two cub reporters. A reluctant mentor, he is not happy about overseeing Grant's training and is especially disgruntled about having to drag "Lois Lane" around with him, too. But then the phone rings. A woman calling herself Dallas, has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and wants to confess her crimes before she dies. A crusty old woman, who likes to quote Shakespeare, Dallas is prepared to tell all abot the murders. She also reveals that an organized group of cells- a kind of fifth column- was behind these and other deaths. And orchestrating everything was a power known by the code name Mr. Smith. Most startling of all, Mr. Smith is presently in Vancouver- and still destroying people's lives.
