Missing in Manhattan: The Disappearance of Judge Joseph Force Crater

Judge Joseph Force Crater was a man about town in Manhattan. He was powerful, political, and a perennial participant in Broadway's party scene.

Until he vanished after walking out of a popular chop house. Years of public scrutiny and speculation turned up no solid proof of his fate. But now, over ninety years since the judge's disappearance, one attorney and author investigated the disappearance in a book.

Check out Stephen J. Riegel's book "Finding Judge Crater: A Life and Phenomenal Disappearance in Jazz Age New York" here on Amazon, or wherever you buy your books:
