Now Playing: New Thriller!
New book: Fixer

Monterey, CA, Jan 29, 2008 - In Fixer, author Ed Brodow produces a

spellbinding tale of a fearless politician with a limp and a thirty eight who protects the

city's immigrants from a political system that favors the rich and the powerful.

Power broker Harry Leonnoff takes on Mayor Fiorello La Guardia in this thrilling novel

of New York City politics. From the degrading slums of the Lower East Side to the

bloody battle of Belleau Wood, Leonnoff becomes the champion of New York's

underclass. Uneducated son of Russian Jewish immigrants, Leonnoff confronts gangsters

and bigots, saves nine innocent black men from the electric chair, and becomes the

admired Robin Hood of Depression-Era New York. But a vindictive Mayor Fiorello La

Guardia forces Harry to make an impossible choice between his career and his integrity.

Ed Brodow introduces us to one of the most compelling antiheroes in contemporary

American fiction.
