Book - A Shot in the Dark - 72

Summary no. 72

Ben Oliver was a young reporter for the Brighton-based newspaper Evening Argus. Ben had taken this career path because of one man: the popular and prominent journalist Harry Jupiter. Ben was only a child when he’d first read an article by Jupiter. Jupiter’s writing style had amazed Ben so much that he’d decided he would become a journalist himself. Now the man that had been a source of inspiration for Ben was lying in a hospital bed because of an incident. The worst was that he seemed to have lost his memory. Ben was flooded with a mixture of feelings. Naturally, he was heartbroken to have his hero in such a condition, but then a great sense of guilt took over. Had Ben not promptly reported the sensational murder of A. S. Crystal to the Daily Clarion (Jupiter’s employer), Jupiter wouldn’t have got hurt. For this reason, Ben felt compelled to go and help Jupiter retrieve his memory. In particular, Ben sought to bring back Jupiter’s memories of the day of the incident. However, it wasn’t only an act of charity. Ben was after a sensational scoop to boost his flagging career, and he’d heard rumours that Inspector Steine had pushed Jupiter off the pier.

Feedback

Great Job! Just a few corrections! You use the word "incident" several times through the passage, and then hint at the end that the event may have occurred intentionally. From what I've read, it's more typical to portray such an occurrence as an accident, or at least use the term, while at the same time hinting it might not have been so.
