About this book
"Yet another captivating work by Thomas Maier, who masterfully shares here his unique insider-lens on Hollywood, politics, crime, media and our often scandalous home base, Long Island." âClaudia Copquin, Journalist and Founder of Long Island LitFest A fun, provocative murder mystery about the making of a miniseries in the Hamptons during the summer of 2016 that involves today's streaming TV, #MeToo Hollywood, the rise of Donald Trump, Hamptons parties, the stealing of Native American lands, and a well-known New York newspaper. Author Thomas Maier (Showtime's Masters of Sex, Paramount's Mafia Spies ) offers the tale of Jack Denton, a down-on-his luck writer who is happy to see his novelâabout the 1880s stealing of Montauk tribal lands by a loud, greedy tycoonâmade into a TV series in the Hamptons. Denton is also covering the 2016 political rise of Donald Trump for a famous newspaper. But as he shuttles back and forth between his Manhattan newsroom and the on-location TV set in Montauk, Denton becomes a suspect in the disappearance of a young actress who was part of the same TV show. Montauk to Manhattan is a story of murder, fame, sex, ambition, and the many political passions of our timeâall rolled into one.
