“Fascinating…unexpected twists and turns with insights into Cohn and McCarthy that will keep readers engaged to the last page. Five stars.” -Andrew J. Heller, Gray Tide in the East: An Alternate History of the First World War Working with Roy Cohn will bring him untold success. It’ll only cost him his conscience. A Time for Lies is the sequel to the unforgettable Rocket’s Red Glare, by the same author. It is far more than a political commentary, as the book also details the protagonist’s moral struggles as he ascends the ranks in his legal career. Benny Peskin is a bright young lawyer drawn into the orbit of Roy Cohn, the most shockingly sensational lawyer in New York. But Cohn, like the man he eventually mentored, Donald J Trump, is a malignant narcissist whose dream in life is to accumulate power and wealth for their own sakes. It’s the dawn of the McCarthy Era and everyone’s looking for “Reds under their Beds” when Cohn, now an attorney for the Southern District of New York, hires Benny. Rather than merely getting his feet wet, aids Cohn in the trial of the century: the prosecution of the notorious atomic spies Ethel Rosenberg and her brother, David Greenglass. Thanks to his work, Benny earns the opportunity to join Cohn again, this time in working for “Tail-Gunner Joe”, the scourge of communists, Senator Joe McCarthy, in Washington D.C. However, far from his original vision of catching communists in the act, Benny finds himself faced with a choice of developing his conscience or losing the love of a gifted and passionate reporter for the Washington Post. While covering events that happened long ago, this book draws a straight line from McCarthy to Roy Cohn to Donald J. Trump and the present.
