About this ebook

Sportswriter Bobby Giaquinto measures his life in sexual conquests, along with the occasional story deadline. He plods through life numbly, until he meets a woman he cannot forget, and becomes gripped by a baseball story about a very righteous and beloved pitcher who is anything but what he seems. Bobby’s obsession hurls him towards dangerous truths about the subjects of his story, and himself. Pat Jordan’s haunting novel is an unflinching look at love, vengeance, and what drives us to do the things we do.
Pat Jordan is one of the most popular and successful sports writers in America. He is a regular contributor to Sports Illustrated, Esquire, Men's Journal, Sports on Earth, and other publications, and author of 12 books, including A FALSE SPRING, a true classic of baseball literature. Jordan's fiction writing is vastly underrated, as demonstrated by the powerful combination of words, ideas, and emotions that make up THE CHEAT.

Pat Jordan

Pat Jordan is a celebrated sportswriter and novelist whose work has appeared in the Atlantic, GQ, Harper’s, the New Yorker, Playboy, and the New York Times Magazine, among many other publications. A top high school pitching prospect, he spent three years with the Milwaukee Braves organization before leaving professional baseball to pursue a writing career. Time magazine praised A False Spring, a memoir about his time in the minor leagues, as “one of the best and truest books about baseball and about coming to maturity in America,” and Sports Illustrated named it one of the Top 100 Sports Books of All Time. In the follow-up, A Nice Tuesday, Jordan chronicles his unlikely return to the mound at the age of fifty-six. His numerous other books include the sports anthologies The Suitors of Spring, Broken Patterns, and The Best Sports Writing of Pat Jordan, and the crime novels a.k.a. Sheila Doyle and a.k.a. Sheila Weinstein.
