What’s A Girl Gotta Do? is Hayter’s first novel and an Arthur Ellis Award winner. The book follows a third-string reporter named Robin Hudson who works at New York’s All News Network. She is being harassed by a mystery late-night caller that is blackmailing her with person information about her childhood. When the harasser turns up dead, she becomes the prime suspect. Robin will investigate to clear her name and find the killer as she races to break the story before she becomes the next victim.
Another good book in the series is called Nice Girls Finish Last. This book sees Robin pursuing a story by attending an S&M club. She’s there because her OB/GYN was shot through the heart and left handcuffed to his office chair. The only clue is a matchbook to an S&M club which is where Robin finds herself now. Her boss is pushing for the investigation, even as shots are fired at All News Network anchormen. The shots are connected to the doctor and Robin is doing her best to dodge the bullets that are coming her way as she investigates.
