Pebble Beach A True Story

A true story of lust, greed & corruption in the Hollywood game of real-life Monopoly. From Nazi & Communist tyranny in World War II to Tokyo to Pebble Beach to Beverly Hills, the game is played. Its prize is land & world-famous golf courses. The stakes are high, very high. The corrupt American political & legal system of the 1980s & 90s is exposed, including members of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. One of the main characters is Susan Orion Lind. Ron Orion's adopted daughter. She lures the man she loves into a money trap. He, the love of her life, spurns her for another, his true love. Susan gets even. Gordon, Dean & Crawford, the law firm appointed by Ron Orion before his death to protect his heirs & their untold fortunes, is most effective. William Frederick Stone, former partner in the firm, was in Ronald Reagan's "Kitchen Cabinet." Reagan appointed approximately half of the Federal judges; as a result, Gordon, Dean & Crawford grew immensely. The Ninth Circuit Court is totally corrupt from the filing clerk to the Chief Justice. Owed political favors supplant the rights of the individual as guaranteed by the Constitution. The forces of greed & corruption among gangs of lawyers & judges are no different than those of gangs on the streets of South Central Los Angeles. War erupts in the boardroom as it did on the streets on April 1992. Susan becomes a casualty. Her despair & guilt contribute to her death soon after she takes over a four hundred million dollar real estate deal. The tremendous power & corrupting influence of the Orion fortune is mirrored against the background of the whoredom of American real estate to Japanese tycoons.Karsky, A.
