In this unique homage to an American icon, journalist and award-winning author Pete Hamill evokes the essence of Sinatra - examining his art and his legend from the inside, as only a friend of many years could do. Shaped by Prohibition, the Depression, and war, Francis Albert Sinatra became the troubadour of urban loneliness. With his songs he enabled millions of others to tell their own stories, providing an entire generation with a sense of tradition and pride belonging distinctly to them.

To his customers and neighbors on 125th street, Ray Carney is an upstanding salesman of reasonably priced furniture, making a decent life for himself and his family. He and his wife Elizabeth are expecting their second child, and if her parents on Striver's Row don't approve of him or their cramped apartment across from the subway tracks, it's still home. Few people know he descends from a line of uptown hoods and crooks, and that his façade of normalcy has more than a few cracks in it. Cracks that are getting bigger all the time.

Matthew Riker keeps to himself, doesn't cause trouble, and never talks about his past. But after a chance encounter with a woman and a small child on the run, Riker will have to make a choice: use his hard-won skills to protect two innocent victims, or stay in the safety of his quiet life. What follows is an adrenaline-soaked thrill ride that will take Riker on a cross-country chase, through the seedy underbelly of a New York criminal empire, and into the darkest places of the human heart.

The story of how The Godfather was made is as dramatic, operatic, and entertaining as the film itself. Over the years, many versions of various aspects of the movie’s fiery creation have been told - sometimes conflicting, but always compelling. Mark Seal sifts through the evidence, has extensive new conversations with director Francis Ford Coppola and several heretofore silent sources, and complements them with colorful interviews with key players including actors Al Pacino, James Caan, Talia Shire, and others.

Opal is a fiercely independent young woman pushing against the grain in her style and attitude, Afro-punk before that term existed. Coming of age in Detroit, she can’t imagine settling for a 9-to-5 job—despite her unusual looks, Opal believes she can be a star. So when the aspiring British singer/songwriter Neville Charles discovers her at a bar’s amateur night, she takes him up on his offer to make rock music together for the fledgling Rivington Records.

On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, President Kennedy died, and the world changed. What if you could change it back? In this brilliantly conceived tour de force, Stephen King - who has absorbed the social, political, and popular culture of his generation more imaginatively and thoroughly than any other writer - takes listeners on an incredible journey into the past and the possibility of altering it.

Born in the slums of Brooklyn, in the first year of the 20th century, Willie Sutton came of age at a time when banks were out of control. If they weren’t taking brazen risks, they were shamelessly seeking bailouts. Trapped in a cycle of bank panics, depressions and soaring unemployment, Sutton saw only one way out. So began the career of America’s most successful bank robber. Sutton became so good at breaking into banks, and such a master at breaking out of prisons, police called him one of the most dangerous men.

Reseñas editoriales
Pete Hamill’s Tabloid City, read by Peter Ganim and Ellen Archer, is a taut 24 hours in the life of New York City, complete with all the elements that continue to make the Big Apple fodder for generations of writers. Through Hamill’s pen and Ganim and Archer’s characterizations, the city and its stories are propelled forward by a cast ranging from society’s elite to those so close to the edge that they are quickly losing balance. Ganim and Archer are each given a number of disparate characters to bring to life, and they both do so with pathos and artistry.
Peter Ganim voices Sam Briscoe, world-weary editor of the New York World, an afternoon tabloid whose glory days are past. Ganim’s gruffness conveys Briscoe straddling his desire to stay part of the game yet his brutal honesty that his best years and the best years of his style of news-gathering have come and gone. Ellen Archer brings a similar crusty sentimentality to Helen Loomis, once the working girl, now an older woman, who could drink with the best of them and who could write cigarette clenched between her teeth about tawdry criminal exploits better than anyone else in the business.
Tabloid City is not a trip down memory lane, however. Hamill’s story introduces serious, present-day concerns among newcomers and classic New Yorkers. Archer portrays Sandra Gordon, a Jamaican woman who, as a child, was plucked from poverty by society do-gooder Cynthia Harding. Now educated and cultured, Gordon lives in the heady world of success and money yet falls for a fellow with a criminal’s soul. Ganim brings to life one of Hamill’s many brilliant literary turns in Tabloid City another facet of the violently brutal world of terrorism. Mary Lou, Ali Watson, and their son Malik Shahid are a family undone by the hideousness of terrorism. One can hear in Ganim’s reading of Ali, a member of the NYPD Anti-Terrorism Force, the professionalism of New York’s Finest shrouded in his own personal grief.
From an embittered, wounded vet to a hotshot Internet gossip, to an immigrant woman trying to help support her family to an elderly artist who has failed eyesight but not a clouded heart, Tabloid City springs to life with a slice of what is probably considered an average day in New York City. Through Hamill’s expert storytelling, Ganim and Archer’s talents create a riveting ‘audio noir’ experience. If the book is Pete Hamill’s tip of the hat to both old-style print journalism and the new world of instantaneous Internet information, the audiobook is Peter Ganim and Ellen Archer’s similar gesture to those who love reading books and those whose joy is listening to them. Carole Chouinard
Resumen del Editor
In a stately West Village townhouse, a wealthy socialite and her secretary are murdered. In the 24 hours that follow, a flurry of activity circles around their shocking deaths: The head of one of the city's last tabloids stops the presses. A cop investigates the killing. A reporter chases the story. A disgraced hedge-fund manager flees the country. An Iraq War vet seeks revenge. And an angry young extremist plots a major catastrophe.
The City is many things: a proving ground, a decadent playground, or a palimpsest of memories - an historic metropolis eclipsed by modern times. As much a thriller as it is a gripping portrait of the city of today, Tabloid City is a new fiction classic from the writer who has captured it perfectly for decades.

Very different from each other, they are nonetheless linked by a shared history and a single shattering secret. Now, they have been reunited and are about to embark on a quest that will take them from Washington, D.C., to the graveyards and fleshpots of the Far East to the human jungle of New York.

When the badly decomposed body of 13-year-old Katie Pine is found, John Cardinal is vindicated. It was Cardinal who'd kept the Pine case open and Cardinal had been demoted to the burglary squad for his excessive zeal. But Katie Pine isn't the only youngster to have gone missing and Cardinal is now given the go-ahead to reopen the files on three other lost kids. When another youth is reported missing, he begins to see a pattern that screams "serial killer."

A murderer is on the loose on the streets of New York City: nicknamed the Doomsday Killer, he's claimed six victims in just two weeks, and the city is terrified. Even worse, the police are mystified: the victims have nothing in common, defying all profiling, and all that connects them is that each received a sick postcard in the mail before they died - a postcard that announced their date of death. In desperation, the FBI assigns the case to maverick agent Will Piper, once the most accomplished serial-killing expert in the bureau's history, now on a dissolute spiral to retirement.

KOKO. Only four men knew what it meant. Now they must stop it. They are Vietnam vets — a doctor, a lawyer, a working stiff, and a writer. Very different from each other, they are nonetheless linked by a shared history and a single shattering secret. Now, they have been reunited and are about to embark on a quest that will take them from Washington, D.C., to the graveyards and fleshpots of the Far East to the human jungle of New York.

When the badly decomposed body of 13-year-old Katie Pine is found, John Cardinal is vindicated. It was Cardinal who'd kept the Pine case open and Cardinal had been demoted to the burglary squad for his excessive zeal. But Katie Pine isn't the only youngster to have gone missing and Cardinal is now given the go-ahead to reopen the files on three other lost kids. When another youth is reported missing, he begins to see a pattern that screams "serial killer."

A murderer is on the loose on the streets of New York City: nicknamed the Doomsday Killer, he's claimed six victims in just two weeks, and the city is terrified. Even worse, the police are mystified: the victims have nothing in common, defying all profiling, and all that connects them is that each received a sick postcard in the mail before they died - a postcard that announced their date of death. In desperation, the FBI assigns the case to maverick agent Will Piper, once the most accomplished serial-killing expert in the bureau's history, now on a dissolute spiral to retirement.

This is a classic example of what not to do
Ok, alright. This stories' narration is exquisite. However, that's where my praise for the book ends. I took a online writing class and this story is a classic example of what not to send to the publisher. Be warned now: the book is a waste of your breath.
