The Darkest Glare: A True Story of Murder, Blackmail, and Real Estate Greed in 1979 Los Angeles by Chip Jacobs

4.0

Chip Jacob's has written a well investigated true crime story that reads like a novel. This book had me at the prologue.

Charismatic Richard Kasparov and nerdy Jerry Schneiderman are partners in Space Matters, a real estate development company.
When Richard talks Jerry into expanding, they hire Howard Garrett as a site manager. Richard hired him for his contractors license and line of credit.

When Howard realizes that Richard is stealing from him and the company, he quits. With vengeance on his mind, Howard hires a band of misfits that bungle several assassination attempts. Will Howard succeed in murdering Richard and Jerry before he is caught?

This true story takes place in 1979 Los Angeles. A story of greed, blackmail and murder that True Crime fans will enjoy. Thank you @cjwriter and @suzyapprovedbooktours for including me on this tour.
