Description
As we approach the 50th anniversary of Jimmy Hoffa’s disappearance, Lew Paper has crafted a fast-paced thriller which provides a new slanT on what might have happened if someone had witnessed the abduction.
Sam Silver, a former FBI Special Agent-turned-private investigator, has been hired to trail Hoffa in that summer of 1975 and watches him get in a car with three other men, all of whom Silver knows from his prior experience with the FBI. But Sam is reluctant to contact the FBI when he later learns that Hoffa has been abducted. Sam’s only child, a high school student, just lost his mother (and Silver’s wife) to cancer. Sam knows all about the Mafia’s practice of eliminating witnesses to its crimes, and he cannot bear the thought of leaving his son without any parent.
Fast forward eleven years. Sam’s son, now a young lawyer in Washington, DC, embarks on an odyssey to determine whether his father’s untimely death on a sailboat ten years earlier was, as the coroner determined, an accident. Or was it something more sinister?
In a story filled with unexpected twists and turns, Legacy of Lies touches on the forces surrounding Hoffa’s disappearance – Bobby Kennedy’s vendetta against Hoffa when he was attorney general; Richard Nixon’s re-election bid in 1972; and last, but not least, the Mafia.
