The girl next door
(Book)

Reading his own newspaper's obituaries, veteran reporter Carter Ross comes across that of a woman named Nancy Marino, who was the victim of a hit-and-run while she was on the job delivering copies of that very paper. Struck by the opportunity to write a heroic piece about an everyday woman killed too young, he heads to her wake. There he finds out that the kind and generous Nancy had a few enemies, and her death may not have been accidental at all.
