Dead File
by Kelly Lange (9780446613873)

Channel six television reporter Maxi Poole is on assignment to cover the murder of Gillian Rose, co-owner of one of the largest vitamin and herb retailers in the world. Arriving at the crime sight, Maxi studies Gillian's body, trying to make sense of the scene in front of her. Days later, someone breaks into the home of Carter Rose, Gillian's husband, in a failed attempt to murder him. A shaken Carter asks Maxi for help in finding Gillian's killer. Maxi can't help being intrigued by the magnetic Carter Rose. His earnestness, surprising shyness, playful wit, and boyish good looks all add up to one deadly attractive package. As Maxi gets sucked into Carter's world, she has to confront his indiscriminate philandering and shadowy friends. But Maxi isn't at all prepared for what she finds when she gets into a locked file in the channel six newsroom--the infamous "dead file."
