<DIV><b>A reporter must overcome personal tragedy to cover a grisly assignment</b></div><DIV></div><DIV>The Dellacroce trial should be John Wells&rsquo;s biggest triumph. After years of hounding the mob boss, the <i>New York Star</i> reporter has finally brought enough evidence to light that the city can&rsquo;t help but prosecute. Just when Wells is about to dive into courtroom reporting, his editor pulls him off the story, dumping him on a human-interest fluff piece. The young girls of Grant County are killing themselves in droves, and Wells&rsquo;s editor wants to know why these teenagers keep putting their necks in nooses. It&rsquo;s a tedious assignment, but the normally combative reporter doesn&rsquo;t protest. He knows how it feels to lose a child to suicide.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>Wells chases the story in Grant County even as the hanging deaths rake up memories of his troubled daughter&rsquo;s death. When the suicides begin to look like murder, Wells&rsquo;s reporting puts his own neck on the line.</div>
