The Rogueville Bible

About the Book

In the tradition of E.L. Doctorow’s “The Book of Daniel” and Philip Roth’s “I Married A Communist” comes this searing tale of the clash between a lone leftwing Jewish intellectual and the forces of  McCarthy-era anti-Communism. “The Rogueville Bible” deftly interweaves the adventures of a contemporary New Yorker caught up in a dangerous cable-TV scam with the plight of an aging holdover from the “Golden Age” of television, a scriptwriter whose screenplays for a popular 1950s sitcom unwittingly set the stage for a long-running series of dark deeds, including blackmail, torture, and even murder. Only one man, a failed theater actor, has a chance of unraveling the complex trail of death and deception known as “The Rogueville Curse.” But can he can solve the mystery before falling prey to the curse himself? That’s the question at the heart of this riveting new  thriller by the author of “Charades For Experts.”
