She launches her own show more investigation, putting herself at peril.Her investigation, aided and abetted by her loyal callers, leads her to a shattering secret that could derail the campaign of the leading candidate for governor. Meanwhile, behind-the-scenes shenanigans threaten the very existence of the radio station Shauna J. calls home.The action climaxes in a down-to-the-second pursuit through the streets of historic Old Sacramento during the city's world-famous Jazz Jubilee.

Just so-so. I thought the murderer was very predictable, but not so much the reason for the murder. Intriguing enough to keep you reading, but not completely satisfying.
