As we approach the 50th anniver­sary of Jim­my Hoffa’s dis­ap­pear­ance in July 1975, Lega­cy of Lies is an his­tor­i­cal thriller which rais­es new ques­tions about the rea­sons for the abduc­tion. The sto­ry revolves around a for­mer FBI Spe­cial Agent-turned-pri­vate inves­ti­ga­tor who is asked by a Mafia con­tact to fol­low Hof­fa in the sum­mer of 1975. While in a restau­rant park­ing lot, the inves­ti­ga­tor watch­es Hof­fa get into the car with three oth­er men — all of whom the inves­ti­ga­tor knows are with the Mafia. When he lat­er learns Hof­fa is report­ed miss­ing, the inves­ti­ga­tor has to decide whether to con­tact the FBI. He knows all about the Mafia’s prac­tice of elim­i­nat­ing wit­ness­es to its crimes, and, as a wid­ow­er, he is wor­ried about leav­ing his only child — a son in high school — with­out any par­ent at home. It is a book filled with twists and turns. It touch­es on the forces involved in Hoffa’s dis­ap­pear­ance — Bob­by Kennedy’s vendet­ta against Hof­fa when he was Attor­ney Gen­er­al, Pres­i­dent Richard Nixon’s bid for re-elec­tion in 1972, and, last but not least, the Mafia.
