Portland 1948

As his car washed away in the devastating Vanport flood, Blaine Coltin pondered his options. At the emergency Red Cross center in downtown Portland, it occurred to him that if he had drowned, nobody would miss him much. Only his narcissistic wife, perhaps, but her wealthy parents would look after her. He'd planned a divorce, so why go back to Plum Grove? He could build a completely new life in Portland and take a new name--Blake Collins. An experienced journalist, he headed for his favorite newspaper office to seek a new job. Blake meets Liza Bates, another reporter from Plum Grove. The two learn that Portland is riddled with vice and corruption. Despite the danger to themselves, they decide to aid honest detectives by exposing the city on the take.
