<DIV><b>In this ingenious novel, a passionate journalist takes on his city&rsquo;s rampant corruption </b><b><BR></b></div><DIV><BR>Mike Dolan is a widely read columnist, but he&rsquo;s intensely frustrated by his newspaper&rsquo;s attitude toward the truth. All the articles he&rsquo;s most keen to run&mdash;about a rich youth escaping punishment in a drunk-driving accident, a supremacist group called the Crusaders, or a pennant-winning baseball team found to be throwing games&mdash;are precisely the ones his editor wants to shelve, caring only to keep lucrative advertising relationships intact. Dolan finally has had enough, and borrows money from friends to launch a magazine of his own. Although he&rsquo;s now free to boldly speak truth to power and pursue his most important scoops, the move comes with grave consequences for his love life&mdash;and his life, period. As Dolan steps on toes and dodges fists, <i>No Pockets in a Shroud</i> showcases McCoy&rsquo;s fast-paced, suspenseful style.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>This ebook features an extended biography of Horace McCoy.</div>
