Thrilling crime debut from top TV broadcaster Jackie Kabler
The
Dead Dog Day is the debut novel from successful broadcaster and former GMTV
reporter Jackie Kabler and it’s out TODAY!
It
follows the story of breakfast TV journalist Cora Baxter, and a race against
time to stop a killer from striking again.
“Jackie has real insider knowledge and it shows. A proper
page-turning thriller. I couldn't put it down.” Lorraine Kelly
When
your Monday morning begins with a dead dog at 4 a.m. and a dead boss by ten,
you know it’s going to be one of those days. And breakfast TV reporter Cora
Baxter has already had the weekend from hell, after the man she was planning a
fabulous future with unceremoniously dumped her.
Now
Cora’s much-hated boss has been murdered, and Cora is assigned to cover the
story for the breakfast show – but as the murder enquiry continues, the
trail of suspects leads frighteningly close to home. Why is Cora’s arch-rival,
glamorous, bitchy newsreader Alice Lomas, so devastated by their boss’s death?
What dark secret is one of her camera crew hiding? And why has her
now-ex-boyfriend vanished? The race to stop the killer striking again is on...
Jackie’s
novel is the first book in a new series, and she draws on her experiences of the
glamourous world of television, as well as her long-standing love for crime
fiction. A popular broadcaster turned
author, Jackie is now a presenter on QVC, and as well as a decade on GMTV, has
also worked for BBC News, ITV News and Setanta Sports News.
“A
twenty-year career in news during which I covered hundreds of major crime
stories has given me a wealth of material to draw on for my novels. Aside from
the actual murders, everything else that happens in this book actually happened
to me as a breakfast TV reporter - with minor details changed to protect
identities, of course...", says Jackie
Kabler.
