Career Killer Chance — B.J. Conner

Career Killer, Chance Conner's first novel, examines the rise and fall of newspaper reporter Jack Clancy, whose cockiness and sometimes reckless style land him in trouble - or get him out of it, as well. Career Killer takes place during several iconic events in contemporary U.S. history - the Challenger space shuttle explosion, Oklahoma City bombing, JonBenet Ramsey murder, Columbine High School massacre, and the September 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center in New York.It is a story of love and betrayal, of loss and redemption, during which actor Robert Redford passes in and out of Jack Clancy's life like some kind of apparition and, ultimately, a muse.
