Book
It's only January, and the year 1979 has already brought blizzards, strikes, power cuts, and political unrest. But for Allie Burns, however, someone else's bad news is the unmistakable sound of opportunity knocking, a chance to escape the "women's stories" to which her editors at the Scottish daily The Clarion have confined her. Striking up an alliance with budding investigative journalist Danny Sullivan, Allie begins covering international tax fraud and a group of Scottish ultranationalists aiming to cause mayhem ahead of a referendum on breaking away from the United Kingdom. Their stories quickly get attention, and create enemies for the two young up-and-comers. As they got closer to the bleeding edge of breaking news, Allie and Danny may find their own lives on the line.
