Something Sacred Book
Nick Carraway was once a journalist and a damned good one too. So how come he's about to take one of the longest journeys any man can make - from prison cell to court room to stand trial for murder? As the fateful first day of his trial opens, so Nick reflects, with irony and wry humour, anger and affection, on how he came to stand accused of murder, remembering those who played their part: 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 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 manipulative nature of the media, and a beautifully written and affecting story of love, betrayal and - maybe just maybe - redemption.Read More
