A Battle for Justice, a Fight for Survival: Four Extraordinary Women Stand Against Corruption in 1968 Miami Beach In the heart of Miami Beach, 1968-a city teeming with corruption, greed, and political manipulation-four remarkable women are thrust into a life-or-death struggle against a ruthless real estate developer known only as "the Austrian." These women are no strangers to adversity: Helen, a survivor of Auschwitz; Rachel, who orchestrated the daring rescue of 2,500 Jewish children from Nazi Germany; and their friends, Mary and Lilly. Together, they've built a life of friendship and resilience. But now, they face a new enemy who will stop at nothing, including murder, to steal their cherished home. As the Austrian's sinister plot unfolds, the women turn to Helen's nephew, Joshua Logan-a once-promising lawyer now battling his own demons of alcoholism. Can Joshua overcome his inner turmoil to save his aunt and her friends? While fighting for their home, he's also up against a powerful defense lawyer who controls Miami's judicial system, and a prejudiced judge who seems determined to see his client fail. The stakes are high, and the odds are stacked against them.

Autorenporträt

Hi, I'm Norman Shabel, a Brooklyn-born, successful New Jersey class-action attorney turned author. I've been driven to write ever since I can remember and by the time I was in my twenties I had already written several novels that ended up stuffed in drawers as I launched my legal career, married and had a family.

To date I have written 8 novels and 7 plays, some written in long-hand, hunched over my desk while waiting for a jury verdict to come in and all dealing with some sort of crime, be it murder, corporate greed, politics, war, the Holocaust, or relatable family dynamics. They are fast-paced reads about the dark side of law enforcement and the judiciary and the ups and downs of the legal system.

Courts are inherently dramatic places, and I saw that connection between law and storytelling before I even realized it. Lawyers need to be good storytellers to engage juries in the "plot" of a case. You need to hold the interest of a jury if you're going to win them over, much like the plot of a novel or the arc of a play.

Writing gives my life meaning, I'm a very fortunate man."

I have been married to my wife, Arleen for over 60 years. Together we have lived our dream of traveling the world and now reside much of the year in sunny South Florida.
