Heir to the legendary Fontainebleau hotel, he spent his childhood surrounded by some of the world's biggest stars, including Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack, Elvis Presley, and Ann-Margret, who performed regularly at the Fontainebleau's La Ronde Room. He sat by while his parents entertained presidents and movie stars, as they reigned over Miami Beach in the '50's and '60's, and when the family business went sour he became wealthy in his own right, founding a multi-million dollar business using connections he made at the Fontainebleau. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut Ben, Jr.'s luxurious, celebrity-studded lifestyle would end in another hotel room--a thousand miles away from the one where he grew up--when police found him bound up in duct tape, beaten to death. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSeven years earlier, police found Novack in an eerily similar situation--when his wife Narcy duct-taped him to a chair for twenty-four hours and robbed him. Claiming it was a sex game, he never pressed charges and never followed through with a divorce. Now prosecutors claimed Narcy let the vicious killers into the room and watched as they beat her husband with dumbbells. They also suspected she was involved in the horrendous death of Novack's mother, just three months before. But it would be Narcy's own daughter who implicated her to the police.\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePraise for author John Glatt: \u003cbr\u003e\"John Glatt is one of the finest true crime craftsmen writing today.\" --Howard Goldberg, VH1.com\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"[Glatt] certainly comes through with the goods.\"--\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"[A] true crime page turner. --\u003ci\u003eEast Bay Express\u003c\/i\u003e on \u003ci\u003eThe Doctor's Wife\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Author John Glatt goes behind the headlines and into the heart of this fascinating case.\" --Bookcrossing.com on \u003ci\u003eCradle of Death\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This is a great true crime book.\" --Bookreporter.com on \u003ci\u003eDeadly American Beauty\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Definitive tales of a dozen sets of twins gone bad.\" --Twinstuff.com\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"A blockbuster.\" --\u003ci\u003eThe Globe \u003c\/i\u003eon \u003ci\u003eDepraved\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"An exhaustive account ...
