As the Wicked Watch

Más información sobre el libro

When crime reporter Jordan Manning leaves Texas for a television station in Chicago, she moves closer to her dream of anchoring a national network. Smart and aggressive, Jordan often stands out as the only woman of color in the newsroom, known for arriving first at crime scenes in designer stilettos. With a master's in forensic science and sharp instincts, she balances her drive to break major stories with a commitment to giving voice to the voiceless. Despite her experience with heinous crimes in Texas, nothing prepares her for the harsh realities of Chicago. Jordan uniquely navigates crime scenes and newsrooms, often spotting details others overlook. She frequently covers the murders of black women—many sexually assaulted and quickly forgotten—until she encounters the case of Masey James. The fifteen-year-old girl's brutal murder haunts Jordan, symbolizing the frustrations her job forces her to suppress. Determined to give Masey's story the attention it deserves, Jordan prioritizes it over her other work and strained personal life. Convinced a serial killer is at large, she is determined to uncover the truth hiding in plain sight.
