Description:The unbelievable true story of Harrison Post--the enigmatic lover of one of the richest men in 1920s Hollywood--and the battle for a family fortune.In the booming 1920s, William Andrews Clark Jr. was one of the richest, most respected men in Los Angeles. The son of the mining tycoon known as The Copper King of Montana, Clark had launched the LA Philharmonic and helped establish the Hollywood Bowl. He was also a man with secrets, including a lover named Harrison Post. A former salesclerk, Post enjoyed a lavish existence among Hollywood elites, but the men's money--and their homosexuality--also made them targets, for the district attorney, their own employees and, in Post's case, his own family. When Clark died suddenly, Post inherited a substantial fortune--and a wealth of trouble. In a story that transports readers from the glamour of Prohibition-era Hollywood to Nazi prison camps to Mexico City nightclubs, Twilight Man tells the story of an illicit love and the battle over a family estate that would destroy one man's life.Harrison Post was forgotten for decades, but after a chance encounter with his portrait, Liz Brown, Clark's great-grandniece, set out to learn his story.

It is an exploration of how families shape their own legacies, and the lengths they will go to in order to do so.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
