Going To Jamaica

About the Book

Going to Jamaica is a political thriller about a lawyer, city councilman, womanizer, and generally irresponsible guy whose chance meeting with a beautiful woman in the courthouse leads to an incident that threatens his world and changes his future.

As Attorney Louis Del Corso's career advances from private practice into public politics, he unknowingly surrounds himself with dubious allies who, even as they protect his interests, lead him into a complex web of corruption. As Del Corso's career catapults him into the highest levels of state government, his past begins to catch up with him and the life he has worked so hard to build begins to unravel.

Alex Menza's Going to Jamaica explores the conflicting roles that loyalty, passion, greed, and corruption play-and the havoc they wreak-on one man's career. With decades of extensive hands-on experience in state government and local politics, Menza provides rare, unsettling, and often humorous insights into underlying political mechanisms that affect us all.

About the Author

Retired New Jersey Superior Court Judge Alex Menza passed away in March 2007, just before the release of Going to Jamaica. Honored by New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine for his extraordinary efforts on behalf of the New Jersey?s most defenseless citizens, Menza was known as the ?voice of the voiceless? and State flags were flown at half-staff to mourn his passing. Menza?s long and distinguished career includes serving as a member of the New Jersey State Assembly and the New Jersey State Senate, and as an adjunct professor of law. A true renaissance man, Menza loved the theater and the opera, and authored several plays that were produced off-Broadway. Demonstrating his dedication to serving others, Menza was a beloved mentor to lawyers, public officials, and artists. Going to Jamaica was his first novel.
