For Porter Wren, a New York tabloid columnist, the city is the
story: millionaires on the make and strippers on the clock; a woman
with perfect teeth and a tragic past; a brilliant filmmaker found
dead in the rubble of a demolished building. The story is always
shocking but never a surprise. Until he steps over the line. A
beautiful woman has entered Wren's life, leading him into the
netherworld her dead husband chronicled on secret videotapes - and
to a billionaire who wants one of those tapes badly. Suddenly Wren
is on the run through the city that was once his beat, searching
for the one thing that will set him free: the truth.
