The Paperboy (novel)
''The Paperboy'' is a 1995 novel published by American author Pete Dexter.
==Plot summary==
Hillary Van Wetter has been jailed for the murder of an unscrupulous local sheriff, Thurmond Call. Call had previously stomped Wetter's handcuffed cousin to death. Wetter is now on death row and awaiting execution. In prison Wetter receives correspondence from Charlotte Bless, a woman he has never met but who has fallen in love with him and is determined that he should be released and that they should marry.
Bless provokes immense sexual tension in any situation, given her beauty and presence. Bless attempts to prove Wetter's innocence by enlisting the support of two investigative reporters from a Miami newspaper hungry for a salacious story: Ambitious Yardley Acheman and naive, idealistic Ward James, who hails from the small town where Van Wetter is imprisoned and has mixed feelings about returning home.
The evidence against Wetter is inconsistent; and the two writers are confident that, if they can expose Wetter as a victim of redneck justice, their story will be a potential Pulitzer Prize winner. However, during the path of the prize, tricks of the journalist's trade are played, corners are cut, facts are fudged that later cause Jack James to do a little investigating for his own, which shows some small inconsistencies that had been ignored earlier.
