MONTAUK TO MANHATTAN: An American Novel

This Hamptons murder mystery tells about a down-on-his-luck writer hoping to redeem his life when Hollywood turns a book of his into a big TV show. MONTAUK TO MANHATTAN satirizes Hollywood, America's media during the 2016 rise of Donald Trump to power, and an ancient land scandal against the Montauk tribe that is still going on today.

ALL THAT GLITTERS

ALL THAT GLITTERS is the 2019 updated version my award-winning NEWHOUSE book about Condé Nast and the Newhouse media empire. As Frank Rich said in New York magazine, my book shows how Newhouse's best friend Roy Cohn manipulated the Newhouse publications for the mob and opened the door for the Trump era by making The Donald into a national celebrity. The updated version tells of the in-house rivalry between editors Anna Wintour and Tina Brown, their ties to Trump and #MeToo Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, and how these two talented editors dealt with the blatant misogyny within Condé Nast.
