Description

Nick Carraway was once a journalist, and a damn good one, too. So how come he's about to take one of the longest journeys any man can make - from prison cell to courtroom to stand accused of murder? As the fateful first day of his trial opens, so Nick reflects with anger and surprising affection, irony and wry humour on how he came to be accused of killing another human being, and remembers those who played their part. There's Jordan Baker, the poor, persecuted and now dead transvestite; Frank Bosch, the crooked cop Nick thought he had in his pocket; Kevin O'Neil, his old editor at the Daily Post; and McQueen, its owner and chairman of the far-reaching conglomerate InfoCorps. But above all Nick is haunted by the memory of Jamey Gatz, the beautiful, mysterious heroine of a subway shooting he so desperately believed would be his big break, the story that would make his name and his fortune - and change his life. And how right he was, for life would never be the same again..
Confirming its author as a maverick young writer of supreme talent and invention, Something Sacred is at once a searing satire on the nature of the media and its potential to create and destroy, and a beautifully written and affecting story of love, betrayal and - maybe, just maybe - redemption.
