THE REDHEAD IS DEAD by Chris Ingram

Donna Rand never wanted to be a detective. As a Boston TV news Assignment Editor, she's busy orchestrating coverage of New England's grisliest murder spree since the Boston The Packing Crate Killer case. She's content living in her tiny Beacon Street apartment with her rescue cat, Boomer. But a confrontation with a noisy neighbor unexpectedly draws her into the very heart of the story. She finds herself beaten, abducted and potentially jobless as she pursues the case in a search for answers. She can only hope to prevent the next murder, and avoid being another victim. Donna becomes a modern-day Sherlock Holmes; instead of Scotland Yard, she has the manpower of a great metropolitan newsroom to help track down her leads. Instead of Dr. Watson, her painter neighbor Charles is her sounding board as she meets the challenges of her fast-paced life and a mild but persistent case of OCD.
