| The bestselling author of “Fleishman is in Trouble” (which she adapted into an Emmy-nominated limited series for FX) returns with a new novel inspired by the real-life abduction of wealthy businessman. Growing up in Long Island, the author was haunted by the kidnapping of a businessman from his driveway in Kings Point in 1974, his return after being held for seven days in a basement, and the search for the missing ransom money.
“Easily avoids the sophomore slump with another incisive and witty portrait of New York Jewish life. . . . Brodesser-Akner’s latest combines the smarts of Sarah Silverman’s stand-up, the polymath verisimilitude of Tom Wolfe’s novels, and the Jewish soul of Sholem Aleichem’s stories. This is a comedic feast.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review).
