Watchdogs

In 1991, Julia Wilkes, a zealous young reporter, covered the murder of a teenage girl in Fairbanks, Alaska. Julia's stories relentlessly linked the girl's boyfriend, Josh Harrison, to the crimeup to the day that the basketball star shot himself in the head. Twenty years later, Julia, now a Seattle journalism professor and syndicated columnist, comes back to Fairbanks on a sabbatical just in time to hear about a serial killer's confession to the long-ago slaying. With Josh exonerated, Julia is haunted by whether her stories pushed him to end his lifeand when a stalker begins to make attempts on her life, the stakes grow even higher. Suspects and motives abound: Julia's enraged a pro-life group with a recent column; she's drawn a jealous woman's wrath; she's unintentionally drawn the attention of a demented homeless person; and there's always the possibility that someone from her past has come to collect vengeance for Josh's death. While Julia dodges danger, she pursues love and red-hot passion with R.L., a local business owner who carries his own guilt for Josh's death. The longer she stays in Fairbanks, the more things escalateuntil they come to a head in a final, fiery showdown.
