(2006)
A novel by

 
 
In Webster County, where a ruthless sniper is claiming victim after victim, a media circus is in full swing with local TV reporter Sam Stevens at its center. But despite his beleaguered personal life, Sam wouldnt rather be doing anything other than working this grim, gruesome assignment, even complementing his coverage with a series entitled Inside the Mind of a Serial Killer based on interviews with a local prisoner. Obsessed with his work and trapped in a loveless marriage, the towns beloved, trusted reporter cant help fantasizing about escape, and as his research reveals the secrets of the crimes at hand, he begins to see a dark way out. Parting Shot takes on crime in an age when the media rules supreme. Its a breathless thriller, where a reporter and a killer are engaged in a lethal pas-de-deux with an unknowing, terrified community at their mercy. Jonathan Stone returns to top form here, with a story that blows like a freight train to its startling conclusion.
