Review & Description
One dead client. A cryptic poem. Seven dead presidents.
This gripping tale of murder, politics, conspiracy and passion takes aim at the American political system, the white supremacy movement and racial stereotypes while offering a sinister explanation for the “20-Year Jinx” that has claimed the lives of seven presidents.
Young estate lawyer Benjamin Franklin Kravner discovers a cryptic poem among his murdered client’s possessions that hints at a 160-year vendetta against the American presidency. Ben’s skepticism wanes when he discovers an unusual phenomenon: the presidents elected every twenty years from 1840 through 1960 died in office, and Ronald Reagan barely survived an assassination attempt. Ben’s perilous journey leads him to the answer to his question: is the poem merely a dead man’s wacky conspiracy theory or is a powerful cabal primed to claim the White House as vengeance for their ancestor’s death?
“The Jinx dares us to set aside partisan politics and awaken the slumbering dream of Martin Luther King to mark the millennium presidential election. I can think of no better way to celebrate the new millennium than to elevate the eradication of racism to the nation’s top priority.”
—Nadine Strossen, President, ACLU and Professor of Law, New York Law School
The Jinx will appeal to readers of Grisham, Baldacci, Iles and anyone who enjoys an intriguing conspiracy theory.One dead client. A cryptic poem. Seven dead presidents.
