Signed Confessions: Stories

Guilt and a desperate need to repent drive the antiheroes in Tom Walker?s dark (and often darkly funny) stories: ? A gullible journalist falls for the 40-year-old stripper he profiles in a magazine. ? A faithless husband abandons his family and joins a support group for lost souls. ? A merciless prosecuting attorney grapples with the suicide of his gay son. ? An aging misanthrope must make amends to five former victims. ? An egoistic naval hero is haunted by apparitions of his dead wife and a mysterious little girl. The seven tales in Signed Confessions measure how far guilty men will go to obtain a forgiveness no one can grant but themselves.
