Constructed in 1919, OHEKA CASTLE, Long Island's largest Gold Coast mansion, was once described by the New York Times as the finest country house in America. Enrico Caruso sang in its grand ballroom, and Arturo Toscanini lifted his baton to its soaring ceiling. Appearing as the mysterious mountaintop castle in the opening scenes of the film classic Citizen Kane, its majestic edifice and meticulous grounds continue to dazzle the screens of major Hollywood movies and television shows. It was a playground for the rich and famous of the Gilded Era, when heads of state, royalty, stage and screen stars, great comedians, and bohemians alike cavorted about its great halls. In subsequent years, it became home to an eclectic array of occupants, including New York City sanitation workers, World War II radio trainees, military school cadets, and eventually vandals and squatters. After its abandonment and descent into unrecognizable ruin, a Long Island developer with an appreciation for history reversed the adverse effects of time and neglect, transforming OHEKA into the largest restored home in America.

"So you see, Otto, behind every great fortune, lies a great crime," boasted Princess Zina Yusopov, the richest woman in Tzarist Russia. * * *Set in the turbulent second decade of the 20th century, Behind Every Great Fortune(R) is the first in a trilogy of historical fiction that brings to life the story of Otto Kahn, the international financier whose fortune was so great that he was immortalized as the iconic Monopoly (R) man. It captures the Gilded Era dramatized by the popular series, Downton Abbey.In a world spiraling toward global war, Otto Kahn plans the unthinkable. Two forces stand in his way - Naval intelligence officers led by Commander James "Strafe" Oliver and the legendary mad monk, Rasputin. Behind Every Great Fortune(R) bristles with espionage, sexual depravity, betrayal and ritual murder as it chronicles the first terror attack on New York City, the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the murder of Rasputin, the Russian Revolution and the and the bloody devastation of WWI. Behind Every Great Fortune(R) adroitly weaves historical facts with colorful characters of the day such as Margaret Sanger, Vaslav Nijinsky, Prince Felix Yusopov and Mata Hari as the suspense builds to a bloody crescendo.At the end of the 20th century, Oheka Castle, Kahn's Gold Coast monument to wealth and decadence, has been ravaged by vandals. As modern-day developers attempt to save Oheka from the wrecking ball, they discover hidden passages, a mysterious bunker, and encrypted messages. Will they halt the razing of Oheka Castle in time, or will the secrets of how Otto Kahn amassed his great fortune be buried forever?As the 100th anniversary of these events approaches, Behind Every Great Fortune(R) presents a fresh look at the seminal events that shaped the world. According to one reviewer it is an ." . . exciting, imaginative novel with many scenes of high dramatic intensity."

When the European sport of golf found its way to Long Island and took root in the Hamptons at Shinnecock Hills in 1891, its journey across the Atlantic served as the opening drive of a recreational era that now spans three centuries. Home to more than 130 golf courses, the area boasts prestigious American clubs overlooking picturesque Atlantic bays and inlets, along with public layouts climbing and descending the region’s sloping terrain. Long Island is home to the most popular municipal golf facility in the country, the centerpiece of which is Bethpage Black, “the People’s Country Club.” Celebrated architects like A.W. Tillinghast, Devereux Emmet, Seth Raynor, and C.B. Macdonald built many of Long Island’s famous courses, which have challenged the brightest of golf’s stars. International tournaments and star-studded exhibitions have all been decided on Long Island turf, helping it grow into one of the world’s most prominent golf settings.
