When your Monday morning begins with a dead dog at four a.m. and a dead boss by ten, you know it's going to be one of those days. And breakfast TV reporter Cora Baxter has already had the weekend from hell, after the man she was planning a fabulous future with unceremoniously dumped her. Now Cora's much-hated boss has been murdered, and Cora is assigned to cover the story for the breakfast show - but as the murder enquiry continues, the trail of suspects leads frighteningly close to home. Why is Cora's arch-rival, glamorous, bitchy newsreader Alice Lomas, so devastated by their boss's death? What dark secret is one of her camera crew hiding? And why has her now-ex-boyfriend vanished? The race to stop the killer striking again is on.
