ESCAPE FROM HEAVEN - A finalist in the 2023 New Mexico-Arizona Books Awards in the Philosophy/Religion Categories.
Even In Heaven... No one can escape the reality on Earth. Two men from different eras. Both intensely believing in something far beyond themselves. When Moses and Jesus meet in Heaven, they decide to work together for the sake of all humanity. In this powerful, provocative, unique and insightful novel, Moses and Jesus painstakingly discuss faith, tolerance, religion, and bigotry ~ and the evil committed throughout history in the name of religion. It is a novel where you will meet ordinary people who struggle with good versus evil, politics, friendships, religion, the Holocaust and anti-Semitism. It is about the every-day challenges of life and death, our relationships with God—and all facets of humanity that impact upon the human condition. Moses and Jesus understood the wonders and genius of God. How each individual has the potential to live a life of honest reflection, faith and good works. Religion, with all its limitations and unbridled power, has never been looked at with more clarity than through the eyes of Jerry Marcus and Marion Gold. Paperback . 364pp . $24.00 .

BROKEN TRUST - THE MURDER OF BASKETBALL STAR JACK MOLINAS "Jack would have loved how you portrayed him."
Bill Tosheff 1951-52 NBA Co-Rookie of the Year In his fourth and most riveting novel, Jerry Marcus takes the killing of basketball great Jack Molinas - and creates a murder mystery that combines religion, politics, sports and gambling. As an All-American at Columbia University, Jack Molinas was chosen in the first round of the NBA draft by the Fort Wayne Pistons. He was intelligent, handsome and talented, with the ability to take control over a game. In his first season for the Pistons, Jack was named to the All-Star team. This would be his only season as an NBA star. Jack tossed it all out the window by living on the edge - always having to beat the system. According to Marcus, "Jack's story epitomizes a hypocrisy seen not only in sports, but throughout society. Some sportswriters and columnists vilified Jack on the same newspaper pages that also carried the point spreads and gambling odds on college and professional games." Paperback . 264pp . $24.00 .
