In CAUGHT ON FILM award-winning author and former mafia prosecutor Tom Seigel pits a movie star and a mob boss against Salinger’s ghost in a contest of wills at once riveting, reflective, and riotous, a rollicking quest with rich characters tackling tough questions while keeping to a double-time beat. Determined to outwit and outhustle a legal trust charged with enforcing the author’s copyright, Brandon plots an illicit, underground production with the help of an unlikely band of coconspirators, including a bar owner he met in rehab, a precocious prep-school teenager, and a doomsday-prepping mobster. Although Brandon ultimately finds himself in a seemingly no-win position between the FBI and the mafia, the greatest threat to his well-being turns out to be a missed connection so unexpected it causes him to question the roots of his dream and to ask whether it is the success of his project that he should fear most.
