Description
The Righteous One is the story of Moshe the cobbler, a gentle, sixty-year-old tzaddik—a righteous and saintly Jew—who is called upon to rekindle his divine connection to the Almighty in order to destroy the notorious New York gangster and rasha Solomon Blass, a man who uses his power of foreseeing events via his vivid dreams to advance his own financial interests.
While Solomon and his son, Myron, seek to control much of Manhattan—its biggest businesses, its police department, and its city government—they find themselves embroiled in conflict with numerous powerful people from both their waking life and the dream world, where Moshe has begun training with the descendants of an ancient mystical spirit for his inevitable confrontation with Solomon.
As the final battle approaches, the divide between good and evil becomes ever clearer and each character faces the consequences of his past, present, and future actions. Will Solomon’s wily tenacity prevail, or will Moshe be strong enough to destroy the rasha’s wicked soul?

Author Bio:
Neil Perry Gordon achieved his goal of an author of historical-fiction with his first novel – A Cobbler’s Tale, published in the fall of 2018. With dozens of reviews praising his writing style, he released his second novel – Moon Flower the following year.
His creative writing methods and inspiration has been described as organic, meaning that he works with a general storyline for his characters and plot, without a formal, detailed outline. This encourages his writing to offer surprising twists and unexpected outcomes, which readers have celebrated.
Neil Perry Gordon’s novels also have the attributes of being driven by an equal balance between character development and face-paced action scenes, which moves the stories along at a page-turning pace.
Both of these previous novels have encouraged Neil’s shift in genre into the realm of metaphysical-fiction with his new novel The Righteous One. According to the author, this genre explores the possibilities of magic realism, where the supernatural is part of our tangible reality.
The author has attributed his love for the creative process from his education from his formative years spent learning-to-learn at the Green Meadow Waldorf School.
