Just got this in the mail, a novel written by Steve Tenore, the multi-talented former chairman of the Westchester County Board of Legislators.
I haven’t had a chance to read it yet, but you can see the natural nexus of politics and death in the title since Tenore also happens to be the owner of not one, but two funeral homes in New Rochelle.
Here’s a teaser from the book jacket:
“He is one of the leading funeral directors in a tony suburb of New York City.
“His life undergoes an abrupt change, however, when he’s called in the middle of the night to pick up the body of a U.S. Senator’s wife, who died in an accident in Europe. Paul notices the strange way in which her body is shipped.
Paul’s curiosity leads him to stumble upon a terrorist smuggling ring that spans the globe that involves bio-terrorism, drugs, a multinational corporation and corrupt goverment officials.”
Phew! I hope there’s a sex scene or two thrown in. Sounds like a good thriller. Check it out.
It’s from Tate Publishing & Enterprises.



Phil Reisman is a veteran journalist and native of Westchester County. He began his career in 1977 as the head copy boy of a startup New York City newspaper that quickly went belly up. Reisman was not to blame for the newspaper's failure, or so he claims.
