Review copy with publishers sheet laid in. Author's first novel. "Axel Pimlitz, age 37, works for the Boston Record-Transcript in this first novel by Paisner ( Heartlands: An American Odyssey ). Other reporters move on to the news desk, but Axel, who calls adult fantasy phone lines a few times each day and masturbates in a graveyard when he's feeling particularly down, has been writing obits for 15 years. The apparent suicide of Andy Vaughn, a Boston University student, followed by the murder of a high school athlete, marks the beginning of a tortuous path out of self-absorption for Axel, who is the first to learn the victims' fathers had served together in Vietnam. Axel, who occasionally escapes to a reservoir deep under Boston proper, forms an attachment to Andy's mother, Margo, while a Boston cop discovers that both victims had had sex with the same young woman just hours before their deaths...."--Publishers Weekly.
