FIC SHREVE
Gordon Hatch is a 22-year old aspiring newspaper reporter,trying to live up to the
legacy of his late father, who covered the JFK assassination. He is a lowly obituary writer, inflating his position to his mother and ex-girlfriend. He senses his chance has come when he gets a phone call from Alicia, a young widow promising an enthralling story. As they become lovers and her story emerges, her capacity for falsehood makes him look like an amateur. Alicia’s lies (and his own) offer a choice between truth and fiction that must be resolved before he can evolve into the kind of newspaperman his father would have respected.
