The real McCoy
"Loosely based on the real life of a turn-of-the-century icon and charlatan, The Real McCoy introduces a character like no other in recent contemporary fiction. "Kid" McCoy was a man of many talents and faces: championship boxer, jewel thief, scam artist, and one of the most married men in America. Unfolding against the tumultuous backdrop of history, his story becomes a fascinating mirror of the times as he becomes a legend and a symbol of all that's true in America. An audacious and unforgettable novel about identity, illusion, and the accomplishment of lifelong love, The Real McCoy is bound to become another literary sensation from Darin Strauss."--BOOK JACKET.
