A third victim connected to the newpaperman coincides with a series of fake obituaries detailing the ruthless editors own demise. Certain shes the only person on the island with enough insight to save his skin-and his newspaper-Colley tells Victoria to name her price before a killer terminates his career. . . permanently.
