The Best Revenge: A Novel of Broadway

Summary

Ben Riller is the most successful producer on Broadway, but his newest production is in danger of closing before it opens. In his stress, Ben is hearing the voice of his long dead father, and they’re having a running argument about life, love, and other people’s money.

When the late Louie leads Ben to some old friends of his, Ben suddenly becomes involved with two generations of wonderful underworld characters. But one of them pulls the trapdoor under Ben’s feet, forcing him to choose between moral and financial ruin.

The Best Revenge takes us on a vastly entertaining excursion behind the scenes of the Great White Way, where the drama is often more suspenseful than anything that happens onstage and where the best revenge is, of course, success.
