David H. Rothman, author of The Solomon Scandals, didn’t just research and imagine his historical suspense fiction. He lived it. Rothman was alive in the 1970s to chronicle the corruption within the federal office leasing program. His revelations triggered a congressional investigation and made the NBC and ABC evening newscasts. A great-grandfather was a Jewish tax collector for the Tsar. In a brush with authoritarianism closer to home, Rothman once ended up in the juvenile detention room of an Ohio police station for asking the wrong questions about Nixon, Billy Graham, and Vietnam at a news conference. He is also the author of Drone Child: A Novel of War, Family, and Survival, about a genius child soldier. As a writer, he is drawn to dark themes and satire around social issues—and to heroes who fight back, like Jon Stone, the protagonist of Scandals. Rothman grew up in Alexandria, Virginia, graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and worked for the Lorain Journal in Ohio. He and his girlfriend live in the Washington area.
