Truth Like The Sun by Jim Lynch

Alternating between the optimism of the 1962 World's Fair and the present day, the novel follows a determined reporter who digs into the past of a charismatic civic leader whose career was built on public mythmaking; as old ambitions, compromises, and long-buried secrets surface, the story examines how cities—and the people who shape them—reinvent themselves, and at what moral cost.
