From the Dust Jacket: "Gerald Woodman, an Englishman and an Orthodox Jew, came to America penniless... just before World War II. He soon married Vera Covel and backed by her wealthy father, started up a succession of businesses. By 1980 he had gained and lost two fortunes and built his plastics business into an international cash cow that supported his large extended family in great luxury. But on Yom Kippur in 1985, Gerald and Vera were brutally murdered. When police asked relatives if the Woodmans had any enemies, Vera's bereaved sister replied, 'Yes, their sons.' FAMILY BLOOD follows the investigations of these murders... Behind his charm and careful façade of religious piety and filial warmth, Gerald was a ruthless, amoral businessman, a philandering husband, a ferociously abusive father, and a compulsive gambler... After Gerald suffered a heart attack, he turned day-to-day business matters over to [his sons] Neil and Stewart, who quickly forced him out of the company... When a series of greedy blunders led the brothers to the brink of financial ruin, they hired a gang of Las Vegas thugs to murder their parents, Vera for her insurance money and Gerald for a lifetime of abuse...". First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover. Fine condition/Near Fine dust jacket. 8vo. viii, 320pp. + 8 pages of photos.

About Books (Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and OP books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail-order catalogues, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of over 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialties listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you wish to visit us to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please, only between the hours of 8am and 10pm (west coast time).
