Book Overview
The star reporter for the Beacon City Beam has a knack for showing up in the right places at the most opportune moments and a newsman's flair for detecting a droplet of drama in a sea of dross and dregs. Accompany him on his nose-poking adventures, jot by jot, scribble by scribble-from his relentless search for an enigmatic fortune cookie to his visit to the Sociopaths Anonymous(R) weekly meeting to his bizarre correspondence with a pen-pal who claims to be the Devil. Beacon City Confidential offers a mole's-eye view of American urban mythology run amok. Petty crimes and deceits, daily dissatisfactions and squabbles, puny triumphs inflated like hot-air balloons. Like our reporter's notebook, the pages are crowded with events and outcomes, brimming with entertaining villains trying to survive the 21st Century by any means necessary. Less visibly, the real heroes, the joe-schmoes and who's-thats, threaten to make their own stand, clamoring for their stake in the American dream and a taste of its pie.
