The Best Assassination in the Nation

$14.95

Benjamin Gold is damaged goods: discharged into a psych ward after the war, dumped by his rich wife, fired by the white-shoe law firm that normally didn’t hire Jews in the first place. Unemployable as a lawyer, he wound up drunk and anorectic, working as a private eye—and not exactly at the top of the profession.

After all that, Gold isn’t expecting Judith Sorin, the beautiful daughter of his legal hero, to show up in his office. Especially not with a crazy theory that her father was assassinated by order of Cleveland’s biggest tycoon, Clayton Forsythe.

Now Benjamin Gold has to navigate a web of lies and evasion, a corrupt legal establishment, disappearing witnesses, the FBI, surprisingly polite thugs, and the Forsythes—who just happen to be his former in-laws. A tall order for anyone, and Benny Goldstein has never been lucky…

Description

Benjamin Gold is damaged goods. After he cracked up in the war and was discharged into a psych ward, his rich wife dumped him. Right after that, the white-shoe law firm that never hired Jews dumped him too; without powerful in-laws, it didn’t matter how many cases he won or how much he shortened his name. Unemployable as a lawyer, he wound up working as a private eye—and not exactly at the top of the profession. Drunk and anorectic, his only remaining friends are bartenders and bottles.

After a long string of jilted wives and small-time scams, Gold isn’t expecting the beautiful daughter of his legal hero to show up in his office. Especially not with a crazy theory that her father—recently shot dead, supposedly in a random robbery—was in fact assassinated by order of Cleveland’s biggest tycoon, Clayton Forsythe.

To prove Judith Sorin’s case, Benjamin Gold has to navigate a web of lies and evasion, a legal establishment that’s been bought and paid for, disappearing witnesses, the FBI, surprisingly polite thugs, and the Forsythes—who just happen to be his former in-laws. A tall order for anyone, and Benny Goldstein has never been lucky…
