About the book:

From the author of Lights Out comes sports reporter Kate Green’s next harrowing story, where a famous former teammate is found murdered, and the only way to close the case is to open up old wounds.

After a tumultuous M**der case that almost cost more than her job, sports reporter Kate Green is back on assignment covering women’s Olympic soccer. Between her experience with athletic stardom and days playing with Savannah Baker, head coach of the USA team, Kate is sure to get the story that will reestablish her career.

She just didn’t expect that story to involve M**der.

When famous jewelry designer Alexa Kane is found dead in the locker room, Kate’s promising future screeches to a halt as her past resurfaces. Alexa played with Kate and Savannah on the U.S. Youth National Team, but there was no reason for her to be at the stadium now.

Kate’s investigation puts her in close contact with her estranged father, an NYPD detective who has his own past to answer for. As their secrets collide, Kate will have to decide which ones to keep—and which ones to reveal to stop the killer.

About the speakers:

Elise Hart Kipness is a television sports reporter turned crime fiction writer. The first book in her Kate Green thriller series, LIGHTS OUT, is available now. The next, DANGEROUS PLAY, will be released September, 2024.

LIGHTS OUT is based on Elise’s experience in the high-pressure, adrenaline-pumping world of live TV. Like her protagonist, she chased marquee athletes through the tunnels of Madison Square Garden and stood before glaring lights reporting to national audiences. (At five feet, she often stood on a milk crate to interview NBA players).
In addition to reporting for Fox Sports Network, Elise was a reporter at New York’s WNBC-TV, News 12 Long Island, and the Associated Press, covering events including the Olympics, NBA and NCAA Championships, and the US Open. She is President of Sisters in Crime Connecticut, and a member of the Board of Directors of the Friends of Key West Library. When not writing, Elise loves reading, binge-watching thrillers, and she will fight you for the last scoop of coffee ice cream.

A graduate of Brown University, Elise has two college-age sons. Elise, her husband and their three labradoodles split their time between Key West, Florida and Stamford, Connecticut.

Jon Lindstrom: A 4-time Emmy© Award nominee, having been seen in studio movies, independent films and literally thousands of hours of TV, I am probably best known for my portrayal of twins "Dr. Kevin Collins" and "Ryan Chamberlain" on ABC's General Hospital. I am also an award-winning filmmaker and my writing has won recognition at several prose and screenplay competitions.
