Tabloid City: A Novel

**From *New York Times* bestselling author Pete Hamill, preeminent chronicler of New York City, comes the story of 24 hours in the lives of a kaleidoscope of characters.** In a stately West Village town house, a wealthy socialite and her secretary are murdered. In the 24 hours that follow, a flurry of activity surrounds their shocking deaths: The head of one of the city's last tabloids stops the presses. A cop investigates the killing. A reporter chases the story. A disgraced hedge fund manager flees the country. An Iraq War vet seeks revenge. And an angry young extremist plots a major catastrophe. The City is many things: a proving ground, a decadent carnival, or a palimpsest of memories-a historic metropolis eclipsed by modern times. As much a thriller as it is a gripping portrait of the city of today, *Tabloid City* is a new fiction classic from the writer who has captured New York perfectly for decades.
