Tabloid City

By Pete Hamill
Tabloid City by Pete Hamill digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Both a portrait of the modern city and a gripping thriller, Tabloid City is a classic New York novel from the writer who captured the city for decades.​

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.

“A slow burn that starts getting interesting around page 40 and then moves gradually faster and faster until the end. What starts as chaos ends all tied together in a cohesive storyline.”
“What a refreshing piece of writing? I have never before read anything quite like it. The author Pete Hamill truly has a gift. The story follows several characters through New York City over the span of twenty-four hours. It was interesting to see how even the characters who don't come in direct contact are still related to or affected by the events that unfold. I very much enjoyed this unique combination of drama mixed with just the right amount of humor.”
