For several years, Marcus worked as an account executive for a Washington public relations firm, where he wrote position papers, conducted surveys and organized the campaigns of several major political candidates. When writing on thought-provoking issues became Marcus' passion, he moved to Chicago where he wrote all night, supporting himself by working a succession of odd jobs - including loading trucks, sales, waiting tables, and working behind the counter at the well-known Mort's Delicatessen. His hard work resulted in Marcus' highly acclaimed first novel - ABRAHAM, ISAAC, JACOB & ZEV - which was recommended by the American Jewish Congress in 1982, and adopted in 1995 as required text for a humanities course at the State University System of Florida. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob & Zev was also selected by The New York Public Library for inclusion in its essential research collection. Marcus' second novel, THE SALVATION PEDDLER earned him the title of "Master of Suspense." THE LAST POPE continued Marcus' talent for turning out thrilling, religious-based fiction. BROKEN TRUST - THE MURDER OF BASKETBALL STAR JACK MOLINAS illustrates once again Marcus' talent for taking readers on a compelling and unforgettable journey. In BROKEN TRUST, Marcus explores the killing of basketball great Jack Molinas - and creates a murder mystery that combines religion, politics, sports and gambling. Born in Israel of American parents, Marcus was raised in New York. He currently lives in Arizona where he is writing his next novel. To order Marcus' books, click here.
