Edna Buchanan: Suitable for Framing

From the Publisher:
It's not your average mentor-protege relationship, but then Britt Montero is not your average crime reporter, even in Miami.

Britt's protege, Trish Tierney, mirrors her mentor's energy and cool. No one expects Trish will end up murdered halfway into her investigation of a carjacking ring -- but she does. It puts Britt in high gear for the story of her life -- or maybe for her life itself!
