Murder in the Penthouse

THE SENSATIONAL HOWARD "BUDDY" JACOBSON CASE. Award-winning author Peter McCurtin, working with material documented and reviewed by Carpozi, has written a sizzling account of the case that shocked New York. When Jack Topper began dating Melanie, Jacobson offered him $100,000 to get out of town. Jack refused. Later his body was found knifed, bludgeoned, and shot seven times. When convicted murdered Jacobson shrewdly escaped from prison, one of the first people he contacted was reporter George Carpozi Jr., who had covered Jacobson's trial for the New York Post and interviewed him numerous times.
