From the bestselling author of "What Was Lost" comes a spirited
literary mystery about a television anchorman's search for the
truth about the disappearances that surround him
Frank Allcroft, a television news anchor in his hometown (where
he reports on hard-hitting events, like the opening of canine gyms
for overweight pets), is on the verge of a mid-life crisis. Beneath
his famously corny on-screen persona, Frank is haunted by loss: the
mysterious hit-and-run that killed his predecessor and friend,
Phil, and the ongoing demolition of his architect father's
monumental postwar buildings. And then there are the things he
"can't" seem to lose, no matter how hard he tries: his home, for
one, on the market for years; and the nagging sense that he will
never quite be the son his mother--newly ensconced in an
assisted-living center--wanted.
As Frank uncovers the shocking truth behind Phil's death, and
comes to terms with his domineering father's legacy, it is his
beloved young daughter, Mo, who points him toward the future. Funny
and touching, "The News Where You Are" is a moving exploration of
what we do and don't leave behind, proving once more that Catherine
O'Flynn's writing "shimmers with dark brilliance" ("Chicago
Tribune").
