"Like the hub of the wheel, Jimmy had always been at the center of everything: of heroic acts and powerful friendships, of teenage crushes and media attention. But for those who knew him, Jimmy's death is not just an occasion for mourning. A hard-bitten journalist is hinting at a dark side to Jimmy's brilliant life. And when that journalist dies a mysterious death, the hunt for the truth intensifies, rattling Jimmy's friends - from the woman who loved him to a man who was born on the opposite side of the law, from a youth who idolized him to a lawyer whose own life is being destroyed by it all." "Now a young woman reporter is prying into Jimmy's past - and that disastrous night long ago. As the story of that night begins to unwind, as a wounded city staggers back to its feet, a tangle of secret relationships and personal demons is exposed - until the truth erupts with stunning force."--BOOK JACKET.
