Signed Confessions

Guilt and a desperate need to repent 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 forgiveness no one can grant but themselves.
