Guilt and a desperate need to find redemption drive the antiheroes in Tom Walker's dark -- and often darkly funny -- stories:
- A gullible journalist falls for the 40-year-old stripper he profiles in a magazine
- A faithless husband abandons his family and joins a support group for lost souls
- A merciless prosecuting attorney grapples with the suicide of his gay son
- An aging misanthrope must make amends to five former victims
- An egoistic naval hero is haunted by apparitions of his dead wife and a mysterious little girl
The seven tales in Signed Confessions measure how far guilty men will go to obtain a pardon no one can grant but themselves.
