A crime
reporter in Miami--snapshots of the solved and never solved. Tantalizing mysteries hidden in the enigma of what''s
happening--a reality series wrapped in a mystery novel flavored with true crime and broken, failed romances--an
autobiography you wouldn''t realize is one until it''s done, and you think about it later--and you will.
But where do I start? The long nights, the cold hearts, the mysteries that never go away--the mystery of the heart that is the deepest mystery of all. A woman in Miami covering a crime beat second to none. And for what? Yet, it is her all--an all-consuming passion, a lifework second to none, a place to be, a thing to do, a life you will enjoy living with her, sorry only when the book is done. If you''ve ever enjoyed CSI: MIAMI or MIAMI VICE, you''ll love this book. It''s hard to tell, at first, what the locale is--crime and death are much the same everywhere, aren''t they? As you come to know this brave and mysterious woman, your only regret will be having to leave her behind when her autobiographical jaunt ends--one can only hope she''ll write MANY more books.
What would YOU do, if you were called to report on a crime scene--and the dead man was someone you knew? Cry? Scream? go ballistic? Not if you were Edna Buchanan. She gets the story and gets on with her life and work. A braver, tougher, more dedicated
reporter is difficult to imagine, let alone find. Yet there is a tender, vulnerable isde to her character that makes her unforgettable as a human being, as much as she is as a reporter. It''s no wonder she has become a by-word in Miami, one of the toughest crime beats in the nation. This is one of those books it''s hard to put down, and it leaves you wishing only there were more once you''ve finished it. Long live Edna: May she write forever!
