Cutting satire and poignant love story meet in a biting novel about the media and its celebrities.

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 court room to be tried for murder.

As the first day of the trial begins, Nick reflects on how he came to be accused of killing another human being, and remembers those who played their part: Jordan Baker, the poor, persecuted transvestite; Frank Bosch, the crooked cop Nick thought he had in his pocket; Kevin O'Neil, his editor at the 'Daily Post'; and McQueen, the Post's proprietor and chairman of the far-reaching conglomerate of 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 she would be his big break, and hers would be the story that would make his name, his fortune, and change his life. And how right he was, for life would indeed 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 media and a beautifully written and affecting story of love, betrayal and - maybe, just maybe - redemption.
