Requests:  0 Summary:  "The day Sam Waxworth arrives in New York to write for The Interviewer, a street-corner preacher declares that the world is coming to an end. A sports statistician, data journalist, and newly minted media celebrity who correctly forecasted every outcome of the 2008 election, Sam's familiar with predicting the future. But when projection meets reality, things turn complicated. Sam's editor sends him to profile disgraced political columnist Frank Doyle. To most readers, Doyle is a liberal lion turned neocon Iraq war apologist, but to Sam he is above all the author of the great works of baseball lore that sparked Sam's childhood love of the game-books he now views as childish myth-making to be crushed with his empirical hammer. But Doyle proves something else in person: charming, intelligent, and more convincing than Sam could have expected. Then there is his daughter, Margo, to whom Sam becomes desperately attracted--just as his wife, Lucy, arrives from Wisconsin. The lives of these characters are entwined with those of the rest of the Doyle family--Frank's wife, Kit, whose investment bank collapsed during the financial crisis; his son, Eddie, an Army veteran just returned from his second combat tour; and Eddie's best childhood friend, hedge funder Justin Price. While the end of the world might not be arriving, Beha's characters are each headed for apocalypses of their own making"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Fiction Beha Checked In Add Copy to MyList Ewa Beach P/S Library Adult Fiction Beha Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Beha Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Fiction Beha Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Fiction Beha Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Beha Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Fiction Beha Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lanai P/S Library Adult Fiction Beha Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Fiction Beha Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction Beha Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Fiction Beha Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Fiction Beha Checked In Add Copy to MyList
