Summary

"Twilight Man is biography, romance, and nonfiction mystery, carrying with it the bite of fiction." (Los Angeles Review of Books)

"In Twilight Man, Liz Brown uncovers a noir fairytale, a new glimpse into the opulent Gilded Age empire of the Clark family." (Bill Dedman, co-author of The New York Times best seller Empty Mansions: The Mysterious Life of Huguette Clark and the Spending of a Great American Fortune)

The unbelievable true story of Harrison Post - the enigmatic lover of one of the richest men in 1920s Hollywood - and the battle for a family fortune.

In the booming 1920s, William Andrews Clark Jr. was one of the richest, most respected men in Los Angeles. The son of the mining tycoon known as "The Copper King of Montana", Clark launched the Los Angeles Philharmonic and helped create the Hollywood Bowl. He was also a man with secrets, including a lover named Harrison Post. A former salesclerk, Post enjoyed a lavish existence among Hollywood elites, but the men's money - and their homosexuality - made them targets, for the district attorney, their employees and, in Post's case, his own family. When Clark died suddenly, Harrison Post inherited a substantial fortune - and a wealth of trouble. From Prohibition-era Hollywood to Nazi prison camps to Mexico City nightclubs, Twilight Man tells the story of an illicit love and the battle over a family estate that would destroy one man's life. 

Harrison Post was forgotten for decades, but after a chance encounter with his portrait, Liz Brown, Clark's great-grandniece, set out to learn his story. Twilight Man is more than just a biography. It is an exploration of how families shape their own legacies, and the lengths they will go in order to do so.

Critic reviews

"Twilight Man is rich with joy and wonder amid the drama...an epic of loss, heartbreak, and survival." (Los Angeles Review of Books)

"Brown’s research is jaw-dropping in its meticulousness. For the better part of two decades, she went wherever the next secret took her, tracking down diaries, scrapbooks, letters, passenger lists, prison records and other archival material." (Brooks Barnes, The New York Times Book Review

“In Twilight Man, Liz Brown uncovers a noir fairytale, a new glimpse into the opulent Gilded Age empire of the Clark family.” (Bill Dedman, coauthor of The New York Times best seller Empty Mansions: The Mysterious Life of Huguette Clark and the Spending of a Great American Fortune
