Publisher's Synopsis
Michael Finkel was a top NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE journalist publicly fired and disgraced for passing off as true, a story that was a blend of fact and fiction... Then he learned that a man accused of the multiple murder of his own wife and three children had fled to Mexico where he passed himself off as Michael Finkel, NEW YORK TIMES journalist... Finkel became obsessed with the accused murderer, Christian Longo, visiting him in prison and attending the trial. There was only one possible outcome, but his fascination with Longo allowed Finkel to analyse his own life and to re-start his career.
