Mark Manning, ace Chicago journalist with a great many more scruples than much of the modern-age press, pursues a missing-heiress story with sagacity even as his personal life transitions through a period of questioning and answering his own intimate desires. In the face of mounting pressure from those who want to "make" rather than "report" the news and opinions of the time, his ethical, honest approach is refreshing.Michael Craft's book is a satisfying and enjoyable read. He writes engagingly and clearly even though his syntax sometimes gets entangled, but this is easily forgotten as he faces choice issues head-on.
