What happens when a copycat killer copies a serial killer who doesn't exist?
New York City, 1999.
Reporter Julian Jones of the New York Player is a legend. He has seen to that. But times are tough and when even he can't get his editor to run his latest story, he takes matters into his own hands and comes up with a story nobody can resist.
Order is restored and Julian is back where he belongs as the toast of the town but then matters take a turn for the worse when his influence becomes more far reaching than even he could have imagined.
Excerpt
He walked like a man who was in a hurry to catch a train. The walk of a common man. He was almost running and bullocking through people. He wanted to be alone. He wanted nobody near him. Sweat was forming on his brow. A sweat that exposed a sort of weakness. It ruffled his hair and stained his determined face as a stray bead intruded and trespassed down the right side of his face. Not very statesmanlike. He hated New York at this very minute. He longed for a street somewhere in New Hampshire where he grew up. He went into Central Park. Not something he did often. He stood in the Sheep’s field. He waited for Michael Douglas to come and clock him just like he did to Charlie Sheen in Wall St on this very spot. He wanted today to never have happened. He wanted to be able to be better at what he did. He wanted to have a more interesting life. He wanted lots of things that were too uninteresting to mention. Things that were all vying for attention in his head, all pushing for the spotlight waiting to be heard.
