Filthy Rich in Miami

by Ted Scott

James Gordon Bennett a Scottish journalist immigrated to the USA and founded the New York Herald. His son of the same name became the first International playboy. Fast cars and extraordinary happenings become his epitaph. The expletive Gordon Bennett appears to be a minced oath. It is a version of ‘Gor Blimey’, which is itself a euphemistic version of God blind me. That, combined with Bennett’s famously outrageous lifestyle is sufficient to explain why his name was picked out. So, how did our young, good-looking lothario get saddled with a name like Gordon Bennett? Was it hereditarily handed down, jokingly given or perhaps self-inflicted in an attempt to resemble his long dead name-sake? Thus, can it be blamed for the racy life and the ultimately the severe aggravation he will be suffering? FILTHY RICH IN MIAMI (part 3 of the trilogy) Calamity! Gordon Bennett is in a coma having been shot in downtown Olde Naples in Florida. Both Richie’s beautiful fiancée Pamela and the June Gibson the ersatz Cloris Catesby have been murdered to satisfy the revengeful whim of the Miami pornographic conglomerate. Ex-pat (and shady entrepanuer) Jimbo Suttling arouses the interests of Chicago ex-mobster Harold Gott (now a legitimate insurance magnate) to get to the bottom of things and achieve success in compensation both personal and financial. Ginger’s back together with a multitude of Gordon Bennett’s love life. A happy ending . . . . Er . . . . . ?
