Hopefully this was the call she’d been waiting for all afternoon. Dr. Kendall Matthews was going to be her ticket back to prime time. “Holly Banton.” “This is Dr. Kendall Matthews returning your call,” a very businesslike but feminine voice said. “Yes, Dr. Matthews. I wanted to set up a time for a phone interview,” Holly said. “I’m very flexible, and I know how busy your schedule is.” “Please call me Kendall. Actually the board wanted the phone interview to include one of the donors if that’s possible.” Holly would have agreed to walk on hot coals to get the interview process going. This woman had been impossible to get any real dirt on. Her professional record was beyond reproach. Holly hated that. “Sure, who’s the benefactor?” “Coltrane Highpoint, the author,” Kendall said. So that was where the elusive bum was, she mused.
