Synopsis:

The first collection of feature-length reporting from one of Cleveland's favorite print journalists. (Foreword by Joe Eszterhas.) Michael Heaton has reported on as wide a range of stories as any active Cleveland journalist. On any given day his byline might appear in any section of the Plain Dealer, where he is a regular columnist and reporter. To get the story he has put on boxing gloves and entered the ring, and gone undercover with the FBI and mob informants. He has interviewed chefs and coroners, gypsies and priests. This collection of 40 newspaper and magazine stories shows Heaton's Cleveland to be a crazy quilt of bold schemes, failed dreams, and colorful characters. (Heaton is the brother of actress Patricia Heaton and son of sportswriter Chuck Heaton.)

Review: Heaton's writing celebrates the moment and regularly makes for a compelling read . . . Heaton's craft and his ability to transport the reader is something journalists do less and less of because increased demand for content by their respective employers looms large. Someday, that craft will be a lost art in a cold, tech-soundbyte and website world . . . Heaton does a great job of capturing the esence of his subject matter in a living, breathing way.--Peter Chakerian"CoolCleveland.com" (10/02/2007)

Always down-to-earth and interesting, Michael Heaton's perceptive style helps us understand some of the fascinatng characters of the city . . . Heaton tells the truth whether it be good, bad, or ugly. His provocative stories can often make us laugh or cry. In the end, we all have a better understanding of the people and the city around us.--Patrick Steele"Cleveland Magazine" (10/01/2007)
