The Cheat

(1984)
A novel by

 
 
Bobby Giaquinto is a sports journalist who races through life numbly, until he meets Sheila, a woman who awakens his passions, and then lands a story that could be the world-shaker he used to dream of writing. But complications set in, as they have a way of doing, and Bobby must choose between his blockbuster story and a woman he loves. In making the decision, Bobby is forced to face the truth about himself he has so furiously avoided for so long.

Pat Jordan is best known as a sportswriter and author of A False Spring. But he is also an accomplished writer of fiction, as evidenced by The Cheat, his first novel. The Cheat is the deceptively simple and brutally honest story of a man who must decide between conventional happiness and the quest for an absolute truth.
