About the author:
Jonathan Schwartz was born in Washington DC, and after graduating from Bard College and the University of Pennsylvania Law School with a doctorate, went on to work in Washington for the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Commerce.
He ultimately made the decision to accept an SEC position in California, and decided to make the West Coast his home. He now lives and practices law in Marina del Rey, California, where his private law practice is limited exclusively to securities regulations, investor relations, disputes between dealer-brokers and customers, and securities fraud and enforcement.
In his 'former' life, he was a professional musician (playing a 'mean bass'), and spent the better part of 10 years performing stand-up comedy all over, especially numerous venues in the Los Angeles area.
Marina Man was Jonathan's first novel. He now has another two Tom McGuire Adventures completed: Point Sal and Caviar Crimes, both also available from CreateSpace through Magic Lamp Press' main website at http://www.legalmystery.com, where the 12-book series of Peter Sharp Legal Mysteries by Gene Grossman is also available.
Caviar Crimes
A Tale of Smugglers, Internet Fraud & Stand-up Comedy
By Jonathan Schwartz
Caviar Crimes opens with attorney Tom McGuire on stage in a comedy club, pursuing his dream as a stand-up wannabe. A disturbance in the audience leads to the discovery that one of Maria's 'clients' at her County job is the aged mother of a Russian caviar smuggler in big trouble with the FBI. Tom represents the smuggler, with disastrous results.
A stock promoter Tom prosecuted while working at the US Attorney's office has put Tom's friend and dock neighbor Murray Markoff up to promoting a bogus public company on the Internet, touting the stock of a cold fusion company through a variety of misleading screen-name personae. Murray also becomes a chatroom addict, and is diagnosed with Internet Affective Disorder, for which he must take Prozac.
Throughout, the action is punctuated by Tom's comedy performances and nights in stand-up comedy workshop, and well-informed descriptions of stand-up technique, and the culture of comedy and comedians
