History Talks: Eliot Kleinberg on “Hypocrite’s Row”

History Talks are typically held in the courtroom on the third floor of the Historic 1916 Palm Beach County Courthouse, located at 300 North Dixie Highway, West Palm Beach.

In 1920’s South Florida, Prohibition was a joke. Along the open coastline just a few hours’ boat ride from the British Bahamas, wealthy society swells, gangsters, and tourists paid handsomely to drink. The suppliers became folk heroes and the lawman the villain. Prolific author and retired Palm Beach Post reporter Eliot Kleinberg shares the sordid history, and absolute failure, of Prohibition in Palm Beach County in his novel Hypocrite’s Row, the first book of the “Adventures of Nate Moran” series.
