A brilliant reporter probes into thc dark
past of a candidate for the U.S. Senate
and comes up with the story of a life-
time--only to find that it threatens the
very survival of his newspaper.
Every step that Jimmy Darcy takes
into the labyrinth of corruption sur-
rounding Congressman Michael Santini
seems to raise new personal and ethical
dilemmas. Santini s ex-mistress be-
comes Darey s source and then his lover.
When hc refuses to give her name in
court, his own publisher and editors,
afraid that a libel judgment will mean
the end of the financially troubled paper,
reassign him to an inconsequential
night shift.
In disgrace, and obsessed with ven-
geance, Darcy follows up another lead
on Santini that yields an even more ex-
plosive expose. But Darcy has nowhere
to print the story and few allies on the
paper. In desperation hc turns to the
newspaper s sophisticated new computer
system...
From the publisher s penthouse to the
clamor of the pressroom, this novel lays
bare the passions and fascination of jour-
nalism. It shows decisions being made
and compromised by power struggles,
weakness, and ambition at a big-city
newspaper.
