New edition available September, 2014 - ISBN:978-1771431712  A Suspense Thriller and Towering Literary Achievement “Jack Engelhard’s The Bathsheba Deadline is a sexual/political thriller every bit as compelling as his perennial bestseller Indecent Proposal. The Bathsheba Deadline weaves a tight web of suspense in which the reader is caught, fascinated. We love it, every tense, fascinating minute.”—Author Letha Hadady “A rousing thriller about clashing ideals, clashing moral standards, and clashing civilizations. The Bathsheba Deadline is a page-turner with much more than just entertainment value (although it delivers that in abundance): it is an insightful, courageous look inside the headlines. Bravo, Jack Engelhard”—Author Robert Spencer “Punchy style reminiscent of everything we may have loved about Papa Hemingway. Engelhard rocks!”—Author Adam Daniel Mezei

The Days of the Bitter End

For the newest edition of The Days of the Bitter End please visit amazon.com/dp/1771431032 The Days of the Bitter End is the story of the rise and fall of Cliff Harris, from Philadelphia obscurity to America's most popular comedian. Cliff is a superb impersonator who does JFK so well that Jackie could hardly tell the difference. He is a mainstay of that strange postwar institution, the Ed Sullivan Show. But when the dashing young president is gunned down, what becomes of his shadow? You probably won't guess right. Bitter End is a classy and classical novel with the triple unities of time, place and action. Yet it brings to life the sixties scene with all its exuberance, fun, sex, pot- smoking, and devious police informing. It is Engelhard's most heartfelt work to date, easy to read, easy to like, but hard to forget. Like that day in November when a lot of us lost our innocence

In his usual hard-edged prose, for which he is internationally famous, bestselling novelist Jack Engelhard (Indecent Proposal) draws us into the mind of a compulsive gambler in a work stunningly brilliant and original, and seductively readable. Compulsive is a journey through today, with issues as current as the morning paper, brought to the fore by characters as timeless as the Bible. All this processed through a mind addicted to gambling as surely as others are addicted to heroin. A brisk read by one of America’s most accomplished authors... not to be missed. Jack Engelhard, the last of the Hemingways, is a writer without peer and the conscience of us all. About the Author: Contemporaries have hailed novelist Jack Engelhard as “the last Hemingway” and of being “a writer without peer and the conscience of us all.” The New York Times commended the economy of his prose... “precise, almost clinical language.” His bestselling novel Indecent Proposal made him internationally famous as the foremost chronicler of moral dilemmas and of topics dealing with temptation. Works that followed won him an even greater following, such as Escape From Mount Moriah, his book of memoirs that won awards for writing and for film.

Compulsive: A Novel

DayRay Literary Press

Reviewers have called it "powerful" and "brilliant." Newly released for its 25th anniversary edition, Jack Engelhard's novel Indecent Proposal has found its place alongside such classics as Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby and Tolstoy's Anna Karenina. Indecent Proposal remains one of the most widely-read and discussed novels around the world, due to the strong writing and riches that include a moral dilemma for the ages. The novel was translated into more than 22 languages, and Hollywood produced a mega-hit movie based on this book starring Robert Redford and Demi Moore. The novel stands as a remarkable achievement from a great and legendary novelist. Though Hollywood only skimmed the surface of Engelhard's masterpiece, the theme is eternal, even biblical - temptation! The plot has riveted the world's readers and moviegoers. A destitute couple tries their luck in an Atlantic City casino. The wife, Joan, is utterly gorgeous. She attracts the attention of an oil rich sultan who can buy anything he sets his eyes on. Can he buy people? Can he "buy" Joan? What would you do for a million dollars?

Beautifully written...grittily honest...delightfully charming... Readers have spoken. They wanted more from this masterpiece. So 10 new chapters have been added in what many cite as among the finest coming-of-age memoir ever written. Legendary novelist Jack Engelhard (Indecent Proposal) recovers the past with fresh gems in this award-winning book, honored, later in film, for its unique, minimalist style that delivers absolute brilliance. Each short chapter sparkles and shines in this little memoir that could. Torn from their homes in France at the onset of the Nazi invasion, and after a harrowing escape across the Pyrenees, the Engelhard family -- Noah, Ida, Sarah and Jack -- must begin lives as refugees in a new world -- first Canada (Montreal), later the United States. The experiences that shaped young Jack Engelhard were those that profoundly changed the world. Engelhard, often likened to Hemingway and James M. Cain for precision, helps us understand that life itself is the process of learning who you are. 
Reviews: "In Escape from Mount Moriah, Jack Engelhard achieves the impossible. In a single story, a single page, a single paragraph, even a single sentence, he combines a deep, abiding love with the unvarnished, penetrating gaze of the past, gritty realism with sublime philosophy, brevity with depth, the quintessentially Jewish with the essentially universal, and witty humor with the utmost seriousness." - Nissan Ratzlav Katz, former Opinion Editor for Israel National News.com 
"For my money every one of the 28 stories in this memoir has a latent brilliance and character unmatched in any published stories of their kind. Jack Engelhard is the last of the Hemingways." - John W. Cassell, author of Crossroads: 1969 
"The refugee stories Engelhard preserves are boyhood memories of an almost Tom Sawyer character... adventurous, humorous, sometimes wonderfully strange exploits of a youth during his family's adjustment to a new world." - Chris Leppek, Jewish News (Denver) 
"This book is a winner within its own niche of brilliance...to the child in us, living eternally. Engelhard's balsamic bible of a book." - Linda Shelnutt
