Some cases test a private investigators wits, others test his courage, and still others, his character. In Salvation Boulevard, P. I. Carl Van Wagener has found a case that tests them all, and then goes on to test his soul. A professor is dead and a suspect-who has confessed-is in custody. But nothing is what it seems. After all, the dead man ...
Impassioned in its anger, lethal in its aim, American Hero paints a scathing portrait of the strange place this country had become in the Reagan-Bush years--and shows how only Hollywood could have taken full advantage of the demise of the Old World Order.
Beinhart explores how the world--especially the media--focuses more on sordid, salacious facts about celebrities instead of such issues as who really won in Florida in the 2000 election or how many people have perished since the invasion of Iraq.
Considered the most brilliant political satire of the last decade, "Wag the Dog" was made into a film by Barry Levinson in 1998, starring Robert De Niro and Dustin Hoffman, and is fortunately back in print.
Everyone in the world knows what Bill Clinton did with Monica Lewinsky, or what happened to Brad and Jennifer, Katie and Tom. These factoids mysteriously capture the world's attention. But there's a flip side to this: fog facts. Fog facts are known but not known, the sort of things that journalists and political junkies know, but somehow the ...
Another caustic election-grabbing conspiracy thriller from the author of AMERICAN HERO (the book that inspired the 1997 movie WAG THE DOG). David Goldberg is a university librarian hired to catalogue the papers of a fabulously wealthy Republican. In the process of his work, he accidentally stumbles on a plot to ensure that President Augustus ...
Tony Cassella is a private investigator, the all too human hero of Beinhart's Edgar Award-winning novel, No One Rides for Free. His assignment here is to expose the shady dealings that lie buried in the past of the present U.S. Attorney General.
A top-notch tale of love, money, and espionage, and the trouble they can brew. Tony Cassella has been living the quiet life of a ski bum in an exclusive resort to avoid detection by the IRS. But Tony's impulse to solve two local murders, an instinct from his days as a private eye, interferes with his desire to remain hidden.
