Synopsis

The sensational, real assassination of a prominent Palm Beach man by a Mafioso doing a favor for the president of the United States. The doorbell rings in the home of Rodger Kriger, quickly followed by a shotgun blast that shatters a window, cracking the calm of a cool January night. Kriger falls to the floor, mortally wounded, leaving a wife and six children.Murder in Palm Beach: The Homicide That Never Died is closely based on a lurid, actual murder that happened in the posh ocean-side town in 1976. In the thin guise of fiction, the book contains shocking new information never before made public. This is the saga of a battle between a man whose swagger has sent him spiraling to the bottom and powerful, sinister forces determined to keep him there. It is a story of redemption wrapped in a mystery tale steeped in power, sex, violence, and romance. Author Bob Brink, an award-winning journalist, was a newspaper reporter in the locale where the sensational murder occurred. It made media headlines for 15 years.

About this title

About the Author

Bob (Robert) Brink was born on the shores of Lake Michigan in Muskegon, Mich., and was so precocious that he soon learned to walk on water (subject of his next novel, a fantasy -- kidding, kidding). He relocated with his parents at age 6 to their home state of Iowa, growing up around Des Moines and moving to a small farm at age 14, where he learned to pick corn, considerably less exciting than an aquatic ambulatory adventure. After a torturous coming-of-age, he embarked on a newspaper career that took him to Joliet, Ill., Chicago, Milwaukee, Tampa and West Palm Beach, in which vicinity he has lived for a number of years. He garnered several writing awards, and the magazine where he was copy chief and feature writer won an award for Best Written Magazine in Florida. In early middle age, Brink learned to play clarinet and tenor saxophone, and performed many years in a symphonic winds band while also doing a few big band gigs. He learned ballroom dancing and is a health enthusiast, blogging on alternative health care along with grammar, socio-politics, and his and other's authorial activities. While doing freelance writing and editing, he became an author, ghost-writing a book, turning out a book of short stories, and completing two novels. The latest, MURDER IN PALM BEACH: THE HOMICIDE THAT NEVER DIED, is a roman à clef about a real, highly sensational murder that occurred in 1976. Brink landed a publishing contract for his third novel, a legal thriller, in early January 2019, and expects publication in months.
