Publisher's Synopsis
"I know we can do this. I believe in us. We are intelligent people. Between us, we can put together an issue that's so hot that you'll need asbestos gloves to turn the pages."
Once they were the thoroughbreds of Fleet Street, a close-knit gang of young investigative reporters at the sharp end of their profession. Twenty-five years later, single and burnt out, they come together for one last glorious stand on the local paper of a bustling Yorkshire seaside town.
At their heart is Vita, newly abandoned by her husband, eternally wrong-footed by her teenage children. She thought she'd left it all behind her but here she is, sparring with the police again and finding herself the office object of desire.
Just when she thinks she's back in her stride, a suspected attempted murder in a local tourist spot drags her into a plot that is too close to home for comfort. Suddenly Vita and her love-lorn band of colleagues risk ending up on the front page themselves.
A warm-hearted, fast-paced, comic, seaside romp from the writer of Mrs Tempest's Marriage Bureau.
