The story of the century may be hiding in her junk mail
folder!

Think that annoying Spam clogging your computer is just so
much cyber junk- mail? Top notch TV reporter Charlotte
McNally begins to suspect it may be much more than that—in
fact, she discovers some of it may be carrying secret big
money messages to the group of insiders with the key to
decode it. Problem is, the last outsider who deciphered
the
truth now resides in the local morgue.

In the high-stakes high-pressure world of TV news, this
could be the biggest story of Charlie's life. Or it could
be the one that will end it.

Charlie's also facing another dilemma: the battle of on-
the-
air aging. What happens when a top-notch TV reporter is
married to her job—but the camera doesn't love her
anymore?
Will the glamorous Charlie become a media old maid? And
will that dishy professor turn out to be the answer to all
her problems—or the biggest problem of all?

“…this book has humor, snappy language, danger and a
wonderful mystery that will keep you guessing.” —RT
