<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The investigative journalism team that broke the story of the July 2009 corruption bust in New Jersey--in which three mayors, five Orthodox rabbis, two state legislators, and the flamboyant deputy mayor of Jersey City were arrested--recounts the true story of the federal sting operation.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b><i>In the summer of 2009 the blog Gawker stated Everybody in New Jersey Was Arrested Yesterday. Now for the first time, </i>The Jersey Sting <i>is the real story behind the biggest corruption bust in New Jersey's notoriously corrupt history.</i> <p/></b>Among the forty-four people arrested in July 2009 were three mayors, five Orthodox rabbis, two state legislators, and the flamboyant deputy mayor of Jersey City, Leona Beldini, once a stripper using the stage name Hope Diamond. At the center of it all was a dubious character named Solomon Dwek, who perpetrated a $50 million Ponzi scheme before copping a plea and wearing a wire as a secret FBI undercover informant, setting up friends, partners, rabbis, and dozens of politicians. Mr. Dwek played his role like an extra in a mob movie. On surveillance tape, he repeatedly referred to his fraudulent schnookie deals, which is Yiddish for, well, schnook. <br>Full of impossible-to-make-up detail and fresh revelations from the continuing trials and investigations, this book--the inside, untold account of a federal sting operation that moves from the streets of Brooklyn to the diners of Jersey City, and all the way to Israel--is a wonderful tour de force of investigative journalism by the reporting team that broke this amazing story.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Two very good reporters at <i>The Star-Ledger</i> have done this state -- and the whole country, for that matter -- a great service<i>...</i>Juicy... a masterful job." --<i>The Newark Star-Ledger</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>TED SHERMAN and JOSH MARGOLIN are award-winning reporters for the <i>Newark Star-Ledger, </i>whose work on this case won highest honors from the American Society of Newspaper Editors and were finalists for the Pulitzer Prize.</p>
