Notes: 
Reads like a giant newspaper, touching on every war, fad, significant scientific and socio-political lurch, with tons and tons of pictures. However it came into CUL's posession, YEAR passed from Ceceila Chutw to Mike Pintozzi in 1998. While the publisher kept offices in Los Angeles, the book itself was printed and bound in Chicago by Lakeside Press, R.R. & Donnelly and Sons Company.

Lost in the Ivy

Catalog Number: 
b.12
Date: 
2005
Volume: 
1st ed
Abstract: 
Reporter Charley Hubbs has left almost everything of his former life behind--even part of his memory. Now Charley has the story that any reporter would kill for. Problem is, he might have done just that--and his name has moved from the bylines to the headlines. Enlisting the aid of seductive, whip-smart bartender Elizabeth "Lizzy" Zapler, he makes a daring courthouse escape. From that point on, it's a race against time for the truth. Along the way, Charley discovers that he can run, but not hide, from his past. Against the backdrop of Chicago's storied Wrigley Field, a baseball shrine cursed by a billy goat, Charley is caught in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse that plays out in two seasons--one of futility and the other of hope.
