Bestselling author Mike Sager's fourth collection showcases his deftly-written journalism at its best and most mature, a riveting marriage of crime reportage and you-are-there literary anthropology. The book's centerpiece examines the rise and fall of football RoboQuarterback Todd Marinovich-a previously unpublished, thirty-plus thousand-word "nonvella" version of his ASME-award-winning Esquire story, the inspiration for ESPN's acclaimed documentary, The Marinovich Project . Other true stories include up-close visits with super-celebrity Paris Hilton, South Asian Republican hopeful Gov. Piyush "Bobby" Jindal, Ultimate Fighting Championship impresario Dana White, and coaching phenom Pete Carroll. Plus: A man who spent twenty-nine years in prison for a crime he did not commit.

A farm in the mountains where wounded marine veterans are taking care of their own. And "The Porn Identity," where a divorced dad takes to the road to find former starlets and rediscover his mojo.

His stories cut to the bone of our common humanity." -Paul Hendrickson, author of Seminary and Hemingway's Boat , on The Someone You're Not
