FINALIST
-- 2023 CLUE AWARD
Sometimes,
the most dangerous thing . . . is the truth.
For
disgraced cable news producer Hannah Hawthorne, covering the shooting
of a pretty NYU sophomore is a chance for redemption. When the story
snowballs into a media circus, Hannah’s reporting fans the
sensationalistic flames and earns her acclaim. The tragic murder,
seemingly the result of random urban gun violence, prompts protests
and vigils that further magnify the story.
Meanwhile,
Paulo, a reporter for a small online neighborhood newspaper, is
following the other murder in Washington Square Park that same night
– a Hispanic teen. He discovers an unexpected connection that is
political dynamite. When Hannah and Paulo team up, they uncover
disturbing facts, leading them to question everything they thought
they knew. Their reporting also leads them to the man who might be
the killer.
When the story is ready to explode, the truth may be
hotter than anyone can handle. Breaking the next scoop could ruin
Paulo’s paper and wreck Hannah’s career – and it could get them
both killed.
If you like David Baldacci's page-turners,
Michael Connelly’s cops, and Sara Paretsky’s quirky characters,
you will love The Other Murder.

“With
intelligent characters and believable dialogue, Chapman has managed
to create a riveting whodunit that also speaks volumes about social
issues plaguing the justice system. . . . The social issues are
skillfully woven into the narrative, making readers seriously
consider these problems even
when they’re
immersed in
conversations with
possible snitches
and the
chaos of
climactic shooting
scenes.” ~Kirkus
