Meet three of the most extraordi-
nary characters in recent fiction:
"Ghost" Galvin, the white super-
star basketball player for the Los
Angeles Lakers, now repelled by
the stardom he so richly deserves
and looking for values more per-
manent and profound; Rebecca
Blesser, a reporter for Lift" magazine
whose investigation into the
mysterious death of Ghost s father
(a vice-presidential candidate, who
might have been murdered, might
have committed suicide, might
have died a natural death) leads
her into a search for the secrets of
her own past; and a street-smart
eleven-year-old called Radio (be-
cause of the Walkman he perpetu-
ally holds to drown out reality), a
basketball player himself, whose
insistence on finding his own father, incarcerated in a Michigan
prison, brings the three of them
together.
Writing with the deceptive
simplicity of a great journalist,
Peter Barsocchini weaves the
strands of love, suspense, and the
glamour of major league sports
into a novel where originality is
matched only by inventiveness--
there is a surprise in it that will
simply astound every reader. Yet
most of all it is emotional truth that
resonates here how past pain can
generate present love, how facing
up to one s heritage can bring more
reward than winning the cham-
pionship of the world. This is an
astonishing book in every way, at
once lyrical, cynical, suspenseful,
and wise.
PETER BARSOCCHINI grew up in San
Francisco, where he worked for
many years as a journalist. Cur-
rently, he is a screenwriter and
movie producer. He was himself a
"ghost --for Merv Griffin s
autobiography, Merv. He Jives in
Los Angeles.
