There are three members of KTFO's ace six o'clock news team-and two of them have been murdered. It is the hottest story of Bob Christopher's life, assuming he doesn't get canceled by a sniper's bullet. But what a story! There are Vegas mobsters, brown berets, a blackmailed executive, and a sex kitten ... not to mention the Ku Klux Klan, the Navajos, and an assassin built like a Mack truck. Is this what they call media backlash-or mass murder?

Jump Cut: A Novel

Bob Christopher is Los Angeles' Channel Three television-news action reporter. His beat is the little people-the ones who get pushed around, find themselves in god-awful messes, and produce "human interest" for the insatiable maw of television. But this story was different from the first, when a tiny old lady told Christopher about the bulldozers that had leveled her home without reason or warning. That was ugly enough. What happened to the old lady a little while later was even nastier. And suddenly Bob isn't dealing with the little people any more. He finds himself in deep with big-time politics, a giant oil corporation, a group of wild American Indians, and a high-priced hooker-all out to make him a corpse before he can report the news.

Freeze Frame: A Novel

R.R. Irvine

Bombs, death, and a deadly terrorist have television reporter Bob Christopher at odds with an evil conspiracy.The star anchorman of Los Angeles Channel 3 News had appeared on his last show-as the victim of a terrorist bomb. The shock waves were still rumbling when his accused killer was found dead of an apparent suicide. The terrorist's death should have closed the case. But instead, it opens a nightmarish can of worms when television newsman Bob Christopher can't let bad enough alone and defies the men with money and muscle to focus in on a macabre conspiracy of evil that feeds on human lives and manacles the law.

Horizontal Hold

Bob Christopher, investigative reporter for Channel 3 in LosAngeles, is an old hand at ferreting out consumer fraud. He hardly feels that an all-out effort to reinstate Saint Christopher to the church’s calendar fits that category. Then the cleaning woman who had taken up the saint’s cause is brutally murdered.

Bob, guilty because he brushed the old woman off, is compelled to search for her killer. He finds himself dodging cloudbursts, raccoons, spilled blood, and his obsessed boss, who needs Bob’s presence on the six o’clock news to improve the ratings. Adding to his problems is his elusive film editor, an entrepreneur usually too busy peddling stolen porno tapes to work on the program.

Through this hectic action wander rain-soaked fans in weird costumes vying for places and prizes on the station’s game show. They make it easy for suspects—disguised as surgeons, nuns, and chickens—to melt into the crowd. As Bob Christopher approaches dead center of the web of murder, blackmail, chicanery, X-rated films, and station politics that infest Channel 3’s rickety building, he gets closer to a killer who is out to make the reporter his next victim.
