# Montauk to Manhattan: An American Novel - Hardcover

by **Thomas Maier** (Author)

**"Yet another captivating work by Thomas Maier, who masterfully shares here his unique insider-lens on Hollywood, politics, crime, media and our often scandalous home base, Long Island." --Claudia Copquin, Journalist and Founder of Long Island LitFest**

**A fun, provocative murder mystery about the making of a miniseries in the Hamptons during the summer of 2016 that involves today's streaming TV, #MeToo Hollywood, the rise of Donald Trump, Hamptons parties, the stealing of Native American lands, and a well-known New York newspaper.**

Author Thomas Maier (Showtime's _Masters of Sex_, Paramount's _Mafia Spies_) offers the tale of Jack Denton, a down-on-his luck writer who is happy to see his novel--about the 1880s stealing of Montauk tribal lands by a loud, greedy tycoon--made into a TV series in the Hamptons. Denton is also covering the 2016 political rise of Donald Trump for a famous newspaper. But as he shuttles back and forth between his Manhattan newsroom and the on-location TV set in Montauk, Denton becomes a suspect in the disappearance of a young actress who was part of the same TV show.

_Montauk to Manhattan_ is a story of murder, fame, sex, ambition, and the many political passions of our time--all rolled into one.

### Author Biography

Thomas Maier is an award-winning author, journalist, and television producer. He has written seven books. He was a producer for both the Emmy-winning Showtime drama _Masters of Sex_, and Paramount's 2024 docuseries _Mafia Spies_, both adapted from his work. At _Newsday_ in New York, Maier twice won the National Society of Professional Journalists' top prize and several honors, and now serves on the paper's editorial board. He won the 2022 Columbia University Journalism School's Alumni Award for career achievement. He has appeared twice on the _Today_ show and _Morning Joe_, as well as _20/20_, _CBS Evening News_, _Hardball_, CNN, and NPR's _Fresh Air_. The JFK Library hosted a 2014 forum about his book, _When Lions Roar: The Churchills and the Kennedys_. His latest nonfiction book, _The Invisible Spy_, is expected in 2024. As a reporter, Maier first wrote about the stealing of Montauk tribal lands for _Newsday_'s 1998 history book, _Long Island: Our Story_, later cited in legal papers by Native American tribes before the US Supreme Court. Though inspired by this historical account, _Montauk to Manhattan_ is purely fictional.
