In the 24 hours that follow, a flurry of activity surrounds their shocking deaths. <br /><br /> 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.<br /><br /> The city is many things: a proving ground, a decadent carnival, or a palimpsest of memories -- a historic metropolis eclipsed by modern times.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Engrossing...A gritty tone-poem in prose on New York City life--and death."--<b>Alan Cheuse</b>, <b><i>San Francisco Chronicle</b></i><br><br>"This is the veteran journalist at his best....<i>Tabloid City </i>stands as both an authentic thriller as well as a farewell to the city that was Hamill's New York."--<b>Sheryl Connelly</b>, <b><i>New York Daily News</b></i><br><br>PRAISE FOR <i>TABLOID CITY</i> <p/>"Murder and mayhem...a ticking time bomb of a novel."--<b>Susan Salter Reynolds</b>, <b><i>Los Angeles Times</b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Pete Hamill</b> (1935-2020) was a novelist, journalist, editor, and screenwriter.
