Meet Michael Seeley, a defender of artists’ rights and a relentless intellectual property litigator on the verge of personal and professional collapse. When United Pictures insists he fly to Hollywood to verify their ownership of the Spykiller film franchise, he feels compelled to comply. In Hollywood, Seeley is thrust into the complexities of blacklisting politics and the grim realities of Nazi-occupied Poland. He meets Mayer Bermann, the tough Polish émigré founder of United Pictures, who risks losing control to a ruthless conglomerate; Bert Cobb, the supposed author of the original Spykiller screenplay; Harry Devlin, a flamboyant advocate for Hollywood writers with his own secrets; and Julia Walsh, a captivating USC film scholar whose research might unlock the mystery of Spykiller's true authorship. As pressure mounts for Seeley to confirm ownership, he must confront his own demons and travel to Munich to find the reclusive novelist Max Kanarek, whose childhood connection to Bermann could be the key to unraveling the puzzle. In this novel, Paul Goldstein weaves a gripping tale of legal and moral suspense, blending historical fact with legal insight for an authentic narrative that introduces a compelling new voice in fiction.
