Finding Judge Crater presents a compelling and plausible solution to this enduring mystery., It is Justice Joseph Force Crater of the New York State Supreme Court who is the quintessential figure of murky New York mystery--the man who took a cab one hot August night in 1930, never to be seen again. Crater was a character out of a Jazz Age story F.

Riegel instinctively travels backwards and forwards in time around the disappearance, until the decadent Roaring Twenties, the Jazz Age, showgirls, gangsters and politicians rise from the pages, constructed like the infrastructure of early NYC itself., Riegel has put to good use his experience as a litigator and former federal prosecutor, as well as his history degree from Princeton and JD from Stanford Law School to paint a colorful picture of New York poiltics in the Jazz Age., An intriguing and substantial chronicle of the once-notorious disappearance of Judge Joseph F. Crater in 1930. Riegel has done voluminous research into primary sources and documents and interviewed one of the last living key witnesses.

Synopsis
On the night of August 6, 1930, Joseph Force Crater, a newly appointed judge and prominent figure in many circles of Manhattan, hailed a taxi in the heart of Broadway and vanished into thin air. Despite a decades-long international manhunt led by the New York Police Department's esteemed Missing Persons Bureau, the reason for Crater's disappearance remains a confounding mystery. In the early months of the investigation, evidence implicated and imperiled New York's top officials, including then-Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt and Mayor Jimmy Walker, as well as the city's Tammany Hall political machine, lawyers and judges, and a theater mogul. Drawing on new sources, including NYPD case files and court records, and overlooked evidence discovered years later, Riegel pieces together the puzzle of what likely happened to Joseph Crater and why. To uncover the mystery, he delves into Crater's ascension into the scintillating and corrupt world of Manhattan in the Roaring Twenties and Jazz Age. In turn, the story of the judge's vanishing amid the Great Depression unfolds as a harbinger of the disappearance of his lost metropolis and its transformation into modern-day New York City., On the night of August 6, 1930, Joseph Force Crater, a newly appointed judge and prominent figure in many circles of Manhattan, hailed a taxi in the heart of Broadway and vanished into thin air.
