The Lion's Share of the Air Time - Media Mysteries, #1 - E-book - ePub

When suicide becomes murderAn elderly woman walking her dog in Vancouver's West End looks up at the precise moment that Keith Papineau, a prominent TV broadcaster, falls from a high-rise apartment balcony. Everyone assumes it was a suicide, but Chelan Montgomery, a young journalist who spent the evening with Keith before his death, suspects that he was pushed. When Keith's teenage son asks her to uncover the truth, Chelan's curiosity and journalistic skills propel her onto a trail that leads through mansions, office towers, and ski chalets.
As she investigates, she uncovers a web of deceit and becomes convinced that Keith was murdered. The search leads Chelan to a final confrontation near a black diamond run used during the Vancouver Whistler Olympics. Along the way, she encounters many people who may have had a motive for killing Keith, including his work colleagues, business associates, and even his family members. As she gets closer to the truth, Chelan becomes a target, and must use all of her smarts and determination to stay alive and bring the killer to justice-without knocking Keith's son so far off balance that he never recovers.
