About the Book

On Halloween morning, Chicago news editor Danny Fain witnesses what may, or may not, be a crime. From the window of his commuter train, he thinks he sees a tiny, sheet-clad figure struck down by a car. It is a story that could save a newsman’s career-shocking, heartbreaking, anger-inducing-and Fain is the only one in town who has it. But when he arrives at the newsroom, he learns that the paper is going under. To keep the story, all he will have to sacrifice are a few musty principles…and, perhaps, his future and his soul.

Critical Praise

“Dickinson’s widely accessible and but nonetheless engaging fourth novel details one frantic day in the life of a Chicago tabloid editor who learns that the mediocre tabloid where he works is folding.” — Publishers Weekly

“The pace in the novel is absolutely jet speed. Dialogue is bright and lively, and the commentary on the media is stunning. A first- rate novel.” — Library Journal

“Blistering. . . . Stylish entertainment. . . . Often profane and very funny.” — Boston Globe

“Marvelous . . . absorbing and lively . . . a skillfully woven tale.” — New York Times

“Satiric, slightly raunchy, often hilarious and altogether delightful.” — Washington Post

“A fine book, polished, sharp-witted and excellently written. . . . Part serious and part farce, a combination of high drama and hijinks complete with stabbings, wildcat strikes, betrayals and larcenies both petty and grand.” — Minneapolis Star Tribune

“Remarkable . . . full of dark humor, odd and telling details and pitch-perfect dialogue.” — San Francisco Chronicle

“Written with accuracy, wit, flair, style and a sense of comedy . . . totally engrossing.” — Kansas City Star
