Uncovering secrets he had never known Sid was keeping, Artie is led to investigative journalist Jack Santiago, famous for his ability to get under the skin of the rich and famous - and for his reporting on the potential for nuclear terrorism in New York. Conflicted by the need to investigate a homicide and the desire to be with Maxine and her daughters, Artie is drawn in further by Santiago's death - and by the reappearance of his former girlfriend Lily Hanes, their breakup never fully resolved.
