In this ingenious novel, a passionate journalist takes on his cityâs rampant corruption Mike Dolan is a widely read columnist, but heâs intensely frustrated by his newspaperâs attitude toward the truth. All the articles heâs most keen to runâabout a rich youth escaping punishment in a drunk-driving accident, a supremacist group called the Crusaders, or a pennant-winning baseball team found to be throwing gamesâare precisely the ones his editor wants to shelve, caring only to keep lucrative advertising relationships intact. Dolan finally has had enough, and borrows money from friends to launch a magazine of his own. Although heâs now free to boldly speak truth to power and pursue his most important scoops, the move comes with grave consequences for his love lifeâand his life, period. As Dolan steps on toes and dodges fists, No Pockets in a Shroud showcases McCoyâs fast-paced, suspenseful style. Â This ebook features an extended biography of Horace McCoy. |
