The Prince of Paradise: The True Story of a Hotel Heir, His Seductive Wife, and a Ruthless Murder
True crime reporter John Glatt tells the whole story of this twisted case of passion, perversion, and paradise lost, in Prince of Paradise.Ben Novack, Jr. was born into a life of luxury and opulence. Heir to the legendary Fontainebleau hotel, he spent his childhood surrounded by some of the worlds biggest stars, including Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack, Elvis Presley, and AnnMargret, who performed regularly at the Fontainebleaus La Ronde Room. He sat by while his parents entertained presidents and movie stars, as they reigned over Miami Beach in the 50s and 60s, and when the family business went sour he became wealthy in his own right, founding a multimillion dollar business using connections he made at the Fontainebleau.But Ben, Jr.s luxurious, celebritystudded lifestyle would end in another hotel rooma thousand miles away from the one where he grew upwhen police found him bound up in duct tape, beaten to death.Seven years earlier, police found Novack in an eerily similar situationwhen his wife Narcy ducttaped him to a chair for twentyfour hours and robbed him. Claiming it was a sex game, he never pressed charges and never followed through with a divorce. Now prosecutors claimed Narcy let the vicious killers into the room and watched as they beat her husband with dumbbells. They also suspected she was involved in the horrendous death of Novacks mother, just three months before. But it would be Narcys own daughter who implicated her to the police.
