The Esau Swindle an explosive new novel from Gerald Rothberg, is a high-energy roller-coaster ride that will leave readers breathless. When Esau Rose's death is ruled a suicide, his twin brother Jacob is led down a dark and mysterious path chock full of intrigue, romance, espionage and murder on his quest for the truth about his passing. Along the way, he uncovers more than he ever expected or wanted to know about his estranged brother. Taking place in the beautiful locales of New York and Buenos Aires, "The Esau Swindle" catapults readers into a dark world of art corruption and military coups with a vibrant flair that will leave readers captivated from the first to the very final page.

An enthralling novel destined for the wide screen, "The Esau Swindle" is a spine- tingling thriller that follows prominent art dealer Jacob Rose on a mission to uncover the events surrounding his twin brother's apparent suicide. With his stunning girlfriend  ( internationally renowned Argentinean actress Raquel Gingold )  by his side, Jacob soon finds himself cornered by a cunning former junta general, seeking to locate millions hidden by Jacob's brother Esau.

Against a backdrop of an impending visit by the U.S. president, the art dealer picks up the trail of the money, and uncovers painful truths about his estranged twin's past. Jacob comes to realize that although he and his brother were twins, he knows less about him than a stranger off the street. This realization forces Jacob to make a fateful decision as "The Esau Swindle" rises to a surprise conclusion.

With "The Esau Swindle", Mr. Rothberg creates a compelling web of intrigue and secrecy where nothing is what it seems. Characters battle on a personal and professional level to unveil the truth with a series of unexpected twists and revelations. "The Esau Swindle" proves that truth is often deadlier than the people who seek it.
