Park West: A Novel of Love and Murder and Redemption

ABOUT THE BOOK: A Jewish psychiatrist, haunted by guilt and recurring nightmares of the electric chair, dedicates his life to healing the poor--before being accused of murdering women across America. Confronting certain execution, he prays for the first time: that his lover remain with him until his death. But the doctor has other allies: a lawyer seeking public sympathy; a retired presidential advisor to educate him on power and corruption; and a fallen minister who believes him Christlike, even, at times, the long awaited Messiah. This rich, complex novel, bursting with characterizations of the successful yet lost, celebrates the power of love and redemption, and search for enduring values.ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Stanley Goldstein is a psychologist and author of nonfiction and fiction who has appeared on national broadcasts including The Larry King Show and CourtTV.
