Bob Christopher is Los Angeles' Channel Three television-newsaction 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.

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!

Is this what they call media backlash - or mass murder?

Moroni Traveler, a private eye named for an angel and cut from the same cloth as his hell-bent father, is hired to prove that Pepper did not kill his sister with a baseball bat. A boyhood hero of Moroni's, Pepper is living, potbellied proof that the past, like everything else, just ain't what it used to be.

Named after a Mormon saint, Moroni Traveler may be Salt Lake City's only gentile private eye who still maintains uneasy contact with the Church of Latter-day Saints.

Channel Three News is out to keep its ratings up. When a bestial killer starts sending in little packages of his victims' gruesome remains, it is the shot in the arm the news team needs. They play the story to the hilt, with grisly death in living color. But for the show's producer, ex-star anchorman Tim Bishop, this newsman's dream is a private nightmare. Once before, a story on a maniac murderer had backfired on him, leaving his wife slain and his life in shreds. Now Bishop has a new life, a new love, and the old feeling that unspeakable evil is zooming in for a rapid replay.
