    Corking good historical fiction -- with sources!
  

*by K***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 2, 2014*

I'm intrigued by Eliot Ness, the prohibition agent around whom all sorts of legends have arisen, helped by his own book and by the 1959-1962 television series "The Untouchables," with Robert Stack giving his memorable (and Emmy-winning) performance as Ness.  There also was a second series done with the same name, out of Canada, with Tom Amandes as Eliot Ness and the incomparable John Rhys-Davies as his right-hand man, and the Kevin Kostner movie, as well.This book is a work of fiction, centered on Ness's unfortunate encounter with the case of the Torso Murderer in Cleveland during the middle 1930s.  The case was never officially solved, due to the prime suspect's family being very influential.  In this novel, Bernhardt examines Ness through the lens of his failing marriage to Edna Staley, his first wife in real life, and of his political naivté, which caused him to lose his job as Public Safety director for the city of Cleveland.  He also makes a good case against the individual who was most likely responsible for the murders.It is a riveting tale, and I read the book in a matter of a couple of days, while I was in the middle of my graduate classes at the University of South Florida St. Petersburg last year.  Bernhardt's view of Ness rings true.  The best thing about the book to me, a historian, is the source note that appears at the end, where he discusses the sources he consulted in building his portrait of Eliot Ness.Even if you are not a "Nessophile" like me, if you like a good story, if you like crime novels, you would do well to pick this one up.  Just set aside the time to read it through, because I don't think you'll be able to put it down.

Thoroughly enjoyed Nemesis.  Writing historical novels isn't easy and everyone has theirtake on the story and how the evidence should have been interpreted.  Bernhardt's researchand conclusions on this part of Mr. Ness' life are first rate.  I stayed up till the wee hoursto finish this book, so be sure and get plenty of rest before you start reading it.
