O knihe
An unshaven, evasive and chastened man in the small old mill city of Norton is recognized as he tries to hide from his past. The man, Jack Webster, is revealed as once having been the fabulously popular host of a nightly televised lottery drawing show, as well as the most renown sports anchor in the city of Boston and the envy of all who knew him.
Looking into the past, we see Jack top of the world, but there are dark tidings as Jack's seemingly perfect life is not quite as wonderful as it appears. Thirty-three years old and submerged in the partying lifestyle of a local celebrity, Jack hatches a scheme to fix the very lottery drawing he hosts on television every night.
Back in today's world, Jack-solely in order to get close to a young woman-cynically joins Earthpeace, a group of environmental activists opposing an airport expansion guided by the long-sitting Senator Shea to the doorstep of the powerless working-class city of Norton. Entirely insincere in all he does and on the cusp of regaining all he'd lost, Jack finds himself at an unexpected crossroad.
Triple Six Fix is the dramatic telling-with foreshadow and flashback-of the rise, fall and ultimate fate of Jack Webster, a beloved local celebrity who crashes from great heights and who schemes again to regain what he'd lost.
