Paint Her Face Dead by Jane Johnston - USED Mass Market Paperback

Reporter Louisa Evans smelled a hard-hitting expose when she signed up for SUM--a new EST-like group-encounter marathon.  But when the green-haired punkette next to her dropped dead of cyanide poisoning, Louisa got more than a story--she got a murder.  She also got nailed as the prime suspect.

With a reporter's nose for trouble, Louisa plunges into the seamy world of lower Manhattan and into a harrowing hunt for a desperate killer.  Soon she's next on the hit list..and onto the biggest story of her career--if she can live long enough to tell it.
