Diary of an Investigative Reporter

In 1984, at the age of ten, Terry Marsh is witness to the murder of an abortion doctor that remains unsolved. Fifteen years later, as an investigative reporter who has experienced reasonable success for one so young, he finds himself drawn back to that incident during the course of an investigation. In a unique stroke of irony that validates the expression: "Be careful of what you wish for," Terry discovers the identity of the perpetrator but is unable to go public with it. Additionally, his idealism in seeking a career as an investigative reporter unearthing corruption and malfeasance in high places turns to disillusionment as the mainsteam media falls into the abyss of concentrating its reporting on the politics of personal destruction during the Clinton era 1990s.
