    Synopsis: A murder at midnight at an historic Prague cemetery sets off a frenzied hunt for mythical artifacts that reveal sinister and deadly international dealings. The victim is Kabbalah scholar and scientist, Professor Alfred Augsburg who developed killer viruses and their antidotes for the old Soviet Union. Augsburg leaves macabre clues he believes his student Montana Greene can untangle. To fulfill a promise he made to the old professor on his last day of study, Montana persuades noted soprano Miriam Bel-Hart, the mistress of Augsburg’s tycoon partner in crime, Abu al-Kahlil, to join him on a danger-laden quest to unlock the clues Augsburg scribbled in a book of Psalms with his own blood moments before his death. 

    This bone chilling, mystery thriller leads Montana and Miriam on perilous treks through France, Spain and Germany, just a step ahead of al-Kahlil’s violent goons. The protagonists embark on the terrifying investigation of Kabbalah’s great mysteries, and the myth of the Golem of Prague; and unknown to them, a quest for a vital antidote that will save Montana from gruesome death.

    32tingrey From My Notebook:

    February 9, Notebook - J.G. Rothberg. Plunging into writing my new novel, "32 Tin Cans," A Story about Sex, Love, Drugs, Betrayal, Art and Andy Warhol.The novel opens in the early 1960s, when Andy was at a peak with his art. A time for Andy, when The Campbell Soup Cans, the Marilyns and Disaster canvases were gaining prestige in the world of pop art.

     

    The protagonist of my story is Betsey, Andy's childhood friend from Pittsburgh where the two grew up, She arrives in New York and forges relationships with two men  associated with Andy's Factory. I have completed about 16,000 words so far, in a section I will publish after a few more re-writes as Part 1. This section opens with the highly charged sexual relationship between Betsey and Zeke, an assistant at the Warhol factory, and grows to  include Ethan, an art critic as friend and companion.  Andy arrives on the scene and we see the inner sanctum of his pop art world.

    Check back to learn more on the progress of this story.
