More About This Book

Overview

Gritz Goldberg's life is a mess. He is a middle-aged psychiatrist with an obsessive-compulsive disorder and a foot fetish. He's living in his hometown of Asheville, North Carolina, where he was raised in the Jewish community, yet grew to love barbecue and fried pork rinds. And whenever one of his patients answers his questions with anger and mistruths, Gritz swears he can smell Zelda Fitzgerald's personal perfume-so what if Gritz's office was the same one used by Zelda's therapist years ago; Zelda has been dead for decades.

Just as Gritz begins to question his existence, he is called to the Battery Park Hotel to convince a possible suicide not to jump off the roof. He discovers that the suicide threat is merely a misunderstanding. The man involved is T Royal, who once worked for Gritz's family and "carried Gritz and his brother round town" for years until he suddenly disappeared.

It turns out that T has returned to right the wrongful conviction and execution of Mordecai Moore for the murder of a New York co-ed in the Battery Park in 1939.

As he investigates, Gritz uncovers dirty secrets that involve prominent people-people involved in a plot to assassinate President Franklin Roosevelt and aid the Nazi movement in Germany in the 1930s. As his search for the truth proceeds, Gritz is framed for the murder of an elderly woman who is living at the Happy Valley Assisted Living Home. Then his quest expands into proving his own innocence as well as Mordecai Moore's.

Author Bio: After selling a small chain of retail stores in western North Carolina, David Schulman graduated from the University of Iowa and became a full-time freelance writer. He lives in Asheville. This is his first novel.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
In journalist David Schulman's uneven but promising first mystery, The Past Is Never Dead (a title derived from Faulkner's famous comment about the South), David "Gritz" Goldberg, a disillusioned doctor marking time at a psychiatric hospital in Asheville, N.C., gets involved in reexamining a miscarriage of justice-the execution of an innocent black man for the murder of white girl in 1939. Lively characters (including ambitious politicians, Nazi sympathizers and Jewish businessmen), a judicious use of historical background and a healthy helping of humor make this a memorable debut. Agent, Evan Marshall. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
