Another City, Not My Own

About Another City, Not My Own

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A “thoroughly absorbing” (Time) novel of love, rage, and ruin amidst the chaos in Los Angeles during the O.J. Simpson trial

“Compulsively readable . . . deliciously wicked.”—Vogue
 
Gus Bailey, journalist to high society, knows the sordid secrets of the very rich. Now he turns his penetrating gaze to a courtroom in Los Angeles, witnessing the trial of the century unfold before his startled eyes. 
 
By day, Gus is at the courthouse, the confidant of the Goldman and Simpson families, the lawyers, the journalists, the hangers-on, even the judge; at night he is the honored guest at the most dazzling gatherings in town as the movers and shakers of Los Angeles—from Kirk Douglas to Heidi Fleiss, from Elizabeth Taylor to Nancy Reagan—delight in the latest news from the corridors of the courthouse. As they share their own theories of the crime, Bailey bears witness to the ultimate perversion of principle and the most amazing gossip machine in Hollywood. 
 
A vivid, revealing achievement, Another City, Not My Own illuminates the meaning of guilt and innocence in America today.
