No wonder he’s called “The Most-Hated Man in America.”

The Bastard’s Inheritance
by Dennis Roth
Rating: 4.3 #ad
“I won’t allow that bastard to ruin the family’s reputation,” promised the late Henry Molnar’s widow. On his deathbed when remorse had overcome his discretion, Molnar directed that the biggest secret of his life, the existence of an illegitimate son, be exposed at his funeral. The surprise revelation ended more than 26 years of innocence and propelled those closest to him towards paths of deceit, corruption, and blackmail. No one would be spared. Not even with the unexpected ending.
The well-developed cast of characters drives Dennis Roth’s debut novel that’s full of twists and turns while still being an easy-to-read page turner.
