内容简介:
Should a celebrity biographer dip his pen in gall like a muckraker? Or is he forced to print the legend of a man whose radio fans still regard him as Saint Nick? This is the dilemma facing Chicago gossip columnist Paul Doyle in 1980. Nick is no saint. He and Paul have been friends since World War II. But Nick holds a family secret close to his heart that heall take to the grave rather than reveal it, even to Paul. Torn by friendship, and bound to painting the whole picture, Paul discovers a loose link to a decades-old cold case. Itas a poignant tale of a Hyde Park High coed, who had run away in 1959, vanishing without a trace. The two stories seem unrelated at first glance. But as they converge, Paul is soon plagued with more lies and deceit, including threats on his life.
