I have briefly read about this in another book, but not to this extent. Ben Novack was born into a hotel family, who were the owners of the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami. Ben had married a former stripper, called Narcy. Ben had not divorced Narcy, but they were estranged. He was having a relationship with an adult film star, called Rebecca Bliss at the time of his death. Ben was found dead in the Penthouse Suite at the Hilton in New York. He was found just a few months after his mother had died, later revealed to be a homicide. This was a really interesting case, and it put me in mind of The House of Gucci book that I read not long ago. I appreciated that John Glatt didn't put every single detail about the trial in there, as it gets so dull when you are reading what is essentially a trial transcript. There was enough history of the building and family to grab my attention, and the crime itself was fairly brutal. This was a good book, and I like this author.
