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.--Publisher. 650 0 $a Veterans $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Jewish men $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Private investigators $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Alcoholics $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Lawyers $x Crimes against $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Murder $x Investigation $z Cleveland $z Cleveland $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Cleveland (Ohio) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 2 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20210702010543.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210528010036.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F450B1CEBF7911EB9A43D8CE50ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
