Description
Former investigative reporter Jack Tagger has been relegated to writing obituaries for a South Florida newspaper, but the suspicious death of a notorious rock frontman offers him one last chance to reclaim his journalistic reputation. As Jack digs into the musician’s final days, he encounters a would-be comeback queen, ruthless media executives, and an editor eager to push him out the door. Blending sharp satire, eccentric characters, and a fast-moving mystery, the novel takes aim at celebrity culture, corporate greed, and the decline of hard-nosed journalism while delivering a wryly entertaining tale of professional redemption.
