Download or read book The Burning of the Piping Rock written by Joe Cutshall-King and published by Shires Press. This book was released on 2013-12-02 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over a series of weeks in July of 1987, a dying man sits alone in his apartment. Racing against his imminent death, he tape records a tale of blackmail, deception, and double cross involving the mob and New York's social elite. Twenty years later, the tapes are played for the first time and his son listens to his father's unexpected and increasingly horrifying confession of his unwilling ride taken on the night of August 16, 1954. His Father's companion was an arsonist and the two men's destination is the infamous Piping Rock Casino in Saratoga Springs, New York. The Burning of the Piping Rock is set against the backdrop of the US Senator Kefauver's efforts throughout 1949-1951 to destroy the hubs of organized crime in America. This included Saratoga Springs, where America's high society and the mob mingled amidst the glamour of the race track and illegal casinos, yielding a brew of illicit money and corruption. The book is based upon the actual, still-unresolved arson of the Piping Rock Casino. The ride of the two men exposes their very different backgrounds, shaped and misshaped by the Great Depression, the Second World War, and Saratoga Springs. The Burning of the Piping Rock brings them together in a way neither could have predicted . . . or wanted.

Book excerpt: It's August l946 and the historic Saratoga racetrack, closed for the past three years during WWII, has reopened for the traditional race meeting. The small city's seams are bursting with the pent up needs of thousands of gamblers, socialites and hangers-on who seek the excitement of the Sport of Kings and the mob-controlled casino-nightclubs where the likes of Bing Crosby, Bob Hope and Sophie Tucker entertain. The discovery of a woman's mutilated corpse at a lake near the casinos has local political boss Doc Fazzone and mob boss Sammy Cohen worried that the press will imply it's a mob hit. Reporter Jack Jenkins, assisted by coed intern Beverly Michaels, digs into the murder and finds that young Jeremy Bell, who discovered the body, may hold the key to unraveling the crime. City detective Tom Connor must contend with Jack and keep police commissioner Torrey off his back during an election year where Torrey faces a challenge from local attorney and war hero, Bobby Deliberto. Meanwhile, a reclusive nurse, Sonia Kosik, knows more than she's telling about the victim. Someone in the organization is ripping off the take from the numbers' racket and Doc must find him before mob boss Sammy Cohen does. Doc's enforcer, Harry Schmidt, looks for answers in a book hidden near the racetrack by Jimmy O'Connor, Doc's bookkeeper and brother-in-law. The disparate parties come together and confront each other near the isolated lake where the murdered woman's body was first discovered.
