First published 1999
Walter Starbuck walks out of prison carrying the weight of Watergate and years behind bars. The streets of New York City stretch before him, but freedom feels more like exile. His past refuses to stay buried. A woman he once loved reappears, stirring memories he thought were dead. His former boss surfaces too, forcing Walter to face the wreckage of his old life. These encounters strip away the comfortable lies he told himself about his role in the scandal that destroyed his career. Each conversation becomes a reckoning. Walter must decide whether redemption is possible or if some mistakes follow you forever. The city that once promised him everything now offers only the chance to make peace with who he really is.
