Bobby Giaquinto is a sports journalist who races through life numbly, until he meets Sheila, a woman who awakens his passions, and then lands a story that could be the world-shaker he used to dream of writing. But complications set in, as they have a way of doing, and Bobby must choose between his blockbuster story and a woman he loves. In making the decision, Bobby is forced to face the truth about himself he has so furiously avoided for so long.
Pat Jordan is best known as a sportswriter and author of A False Spring. But he is also an accomplished writer of fiction, as evidenced by The Cheat, his first novel. The Cheat is the deceptively simple and brutally honest story of a man who must decide between conventional happiness and the quest for an absolute truth.

In Pat Jordan’s “The Cheat,” Bobby Giaquinto admits to loving his wife, and claims he would do nothing to hurt her, even though their marriage is one of convenience; she is the mother of his children, but has always detested sex. So Bobby cheats on her, incessantly, managing to keep his infidelity a secret from her for years. Then one day Bobby meets an older women, a divorcée with whom he eventually falls in love.A sportswriter for a New York sports magazine, Bobby is assigned to write a profile of a former ballplayer who was destined for greatness but whose hard drinking derailed his career before he made it to the big leagues. As Bobby talks to the now deceased ballplayer’s former girlfriend and teammates, he uncovers a story that could destroy one of the game’s biggest stars while ending Bobby’s marriage and costing him the woman he loves, but making his career.
Although Jordan’s tale at times comes across contrived with its over the top depictions of Bobby’s flings and several unlikely twists and turns, it is ultimately a morality play: does anyone who cheats on their spouse ever truly want to hurt them? To what level will a prospect stoop to achieve stardom? What worth is truth in journalism when it serves to ruin one career while advancing one’s own, and losing the love and respect of a woman you’ve come to love?
A thought-provoking tale for those with a not too discerning eye for detail.
