For his Valentine’s night call-in show, host Charlie D plans to offer his listeners two hours on the topic of ‘satisfaction.’
Charlie’s in-studio guest is twenty-five-year-old Misty de Vol Burgh, formerly the highest-paid escort in the city but now happily married to eighty-three-year-old billionaire Henry Burgh. It’s all good fun until Charlie receives a chilling message: ‘It’s take-out-the-garbage night. Time to kill all the hookers and wash the streets with blood.’ When Charlie is directed to a website that allows viewers to watch the murder of a prostitute in real time and promises that another killing will be broadcast live within the hour, the hunt is on. But The World According to Charlie D. has an audience of over a million listeners. The murderer could be anyone, anywhere. Charlie and his team have less than two hours to find and stop the killer.
This short novel is a high-interest, low-reading level book for older teen readers and adults who are building reading skills, want a quick read or say they don’t like to read!
