Ed Brodow's grandfather is the inspiration of the historical fiction story, "Fixer". About Harry, the hero, Brodow writes, "his bravery and charisma, in conjunction with his willingness to help out other people, made for an amazing life that calls out to be heard." After reading the book, I whole heartily agree! He was a modern day, pistol-packing, civil servant, Robin Hood type.

The story takes place in New York City – Brooklyn from Harry's birth in 1883 to his death in 1961. The political history of NYC from the later days of Tammany Hall to the post WWII advent of the modern welfare state is fascinating. Brodow's treatment of the evolution of the politics from Tammany Hall to modern day was an unexpected bonus! And it gives me a better understanding of political realities in 3rd world countries.

"Brodow has a way of drawing the reader into his fiction world without any chance of release until the very last page is reached. His novels are fascinating, suspenseful and the perfect solution for a winter weekend in front of the fire!" —Brenda Ballard/Readers Favorite

"A guide to rethinking the meaning of success that may well resonate in these financially difficult times. Brodow's diagnosis of an all-too-common dissatisfaction is convincing, and his prescriptions are well grounded in both basis psychology and common sense." —PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
