Summary
In 2002, Finkel, a rising star at the Times, was fired for fabricating a character in a story. Just as this was about to become public, he learned that a man named Christian Longo, arrested in Mexico for murder, had… been living under an assumed identity: Michael Finkel of The New York Times. Sensing a story - and an opportunity for redemption - Finkel contacted Longo, initiating a relationship that would grow increasingly complex over the course of Longo's trial and conviction. Some descriptions of violence and some strong language. 2005.
