Kate Jaimet worked as a daily news reporter on Canada's east coast, covering courts, crime and general assignment for the New Brunswick Telegraph Journal. Now a freelance journalist, Kate drew on her experience of more than a decade out chasing stories to write the novel Endangered.
Hayley has been reporting for her father’s newspaper all through
high school, and she loves going after the story. When she fails
her biology exam, she is willing to forgo her diploma, but then Ms.
Cameron offers her a chance to redeem herself: Hayley can help her
track down a rare sea turtle off the Nova Scotia coast and get
enough credit to graduate. Even though Hayley does not want to
leave what seems to be a breaking crime story (lots of blood
spattered in a deserted hunting cabin) to accompany Ms. Cameron and
her friend, the hippie animal lover Ernest, her father insists.
Along the way, Hayley comes to appreciate nature, even while
spinning a story: the elusive sea turtle has also gained the
attention of poachers and collectors of rare species. Readers will
find Hayley an intriguing heroine as she works to identify the
enemy, avoid unexpected dangers, and capture the story. Plot lines
intersect and twist in unexpected ways, making this fast-paced
ecological mystery a great choice. for nature loves, and those,
like Haley, who are ready to learn more about the great
outdoors.
