商品簡介
When Zachary Lazar was Just six years old, his father, Edward, was shot dead by hit men in a Phoenix, Arizona, parking garage. The year was 1975, a time when, according to the Arizona Republic, "land-fraud artists roamed the state in sharp suits, gouging money from buyers and investors." How did his father fit into this world, and how could he ever truly understand the man, his time and place, and his motivations? In Evening's Empire, Zachary Lazar attempts to reconstruct the sequence of events that led to his father's murder.
How did Ed Lazar, a fun-loving but meticulous accountant, become entangled in a multimillion-dollar real-estate scandal involving politicians and Mafia figures? How much did he know about his colleagues' illegal activities? Why had he chosen to testify against his former business partner, Ned Warren Sr.?
Warren was "a mystery man." according to 60 Minutes, widely known as "the Godfather of land fraud." The day before Ed Lazar was scheduled to appear in front of a grand jury, he was killed in a "gangland-style murder," as reported by Walter Cronkite on the CBS Evening News. Four hundred mourners attended a memorial service for him the next day. Evening's Empire is based on archival research and interviews - introducing a cast of characters as various as Senator Barry Goldwater and Cesar Romero - and is clarified by scenes imagined in the context of this evidence. It is a singular and haunting story of American ambition and its tragic cost.
