Caffery's Hoax - Candy Jar Books

Caffery's Hoax by Liam Hughes

In the winter of 1988, one desperate journalist, one outrageous lie, and one soggy patch of countryside collide to create absolute chaos.

Caffery's Hoax tells the unbelievable (and possibly dangerous) story of Joe Caffery, a struggling local reporter who invents a monster to save his paper, and accidentally ignites a media frenzy that refuses to die.

As phones ring off the hook, Caffery finds himself trapped by his own headline.

Liam Hughes' novel skewers tabloid culture, public hysteria, and the thin line between truth and print. It proves one thing: once it's in the paper, it's already too late.
