For once, Ed Lowry - star reporter at the Daily Sentinel - wasn't in a bragging mood. Lowry squirmed uncomfortably as Nora Casey told him in no uncertain terms, just what she thought of his reportorial abilities, after missing out on the biggest story in six months! Ed was right inside the Stanley Hotel when Preston Parker decided to high dive from his room on the fourteenth floor. Everyone thought it was suicide, but later that night, when Ed's sitting at the bar in the Hotel Stanley, he discovers a clue pointing to it being murder!
