He wrote two well-reviewed nonfiction books, The Day After World War III and Small Fortunes, and then moved into writing for television dramas, including “Law & Order” (50+ episodes), “Blue Bloods,” and “Law & Order: SVU.” He has won two Edgar Awards from the Mystery Writers of America and an Emmy for his work on “Law & Order.” He lives in Manhattan, NY and Manhattan Beach, California.

About the Book, Wealth Management: For fans of Jess Walter and Gary Shteyngart, this is a financial thriller featuring three Ivy League MBAs who must put their lopsided love triangle aside to snare international terrorists. In the lush world-banking capital of Geneva, Switzerland, three young wealth managers (Catherine, Majid, and Rafe) are handling investments for clients with dubious pedigrees. When problems with troubled investments are “fixed” by murders and bombs, they come to suspect that their clients are Mafiosi and terrorists, but by then they are accomplices, are under threat, and have no easy way to back out. Their efforts to save themselves — and innocent lives — are complicated by their being in a love triangle, by one of them secretly working with the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence to investigate the other two, and by the unexpected appearance of a detective from Nigeria who may or may not be in league with terrorists himself.

From the organizers: "So The Last Shall Be The First..." In October 2010, Camera Lucida performed the very last string quartet of Beethoven, the Quartet in F major, Opus 135. Not only the last of his string quartets, Opus 135 is in fact Beethoven's last full composition, completed in October 1826, months before his death. With that performance, Camera Lucida initiated an extended survey of all sixteen quartets of Beethoven – not in one weekend, or in one season, but over years. In certain years we presented only one quartet; in some, more than one. These complex, intensely demanding works were situated in the familiar habitat of music by Haydn, Schubert, Dvorak, Brahms, surrounded by the avatars of that intoxicating and abundant world, 19th century European chamber music. Perversely, we programmed the Beethoven cycle in backwards order from the last to the first, working in reverse historical time, but forwards in lived time. We hoped to trace the mysteries of this music back to its beginnings, from the enigmas of the late quartets, to the almost embarrassing opulence and exhibitionism of the middle quartets, back to the initial salvo of six quartets published as Opus 18 in 1801. The penultimate installment of our cycle was the Quartet in c minor, Opus 18 No. 4, on February 10, 2020. And then the world pandemic stopped us in our tracks. Camera Lucida returns on Monday, November 7 to the Conrad Prebys Concert Hall to complete our task. As the last chapter in this quixotic endeavor, 12 years after its inception, we will present the very first of Beethoven's quartets, the String Quartet in (again!) F major, Opus 18 No. 1. Our program includes the Piano Trio in E-flat major of Haydn, as well as Dvorak's Piano Quintet in A major. We rejoice in welcoming you back to our concert hall, and to the sounds, vibrations, and shimmering resonances of the illuminated chamber, Camera Lucida.
