Slow Motion Riot

" Powerful...A jolting, urban authentic crime thriller." ?Kirkus Reviews

The award-winning and high-acclaimed crime novel SLOW MOTION RIOT is back in print and more relevant than ever. It tells the no-holds-barred story of Probation Officer Steve Baum and his head-on collision with a young murderer named Darryl King, who becomes his client and then an unlikely hero in their dangerously-divided community. A suspense narrative and a portrait of a city on the edge, this winner of the Edgar Allan Poe award for best first novel is ripe to be introduced to a new generation of readers. 

Especially fans of crime novelists like Dennis Lehane and socially-conscious fiction like THE HATE U GIVE by Angie Thomas.

" The narrative crackles at a jackhammer' s pace." ?The New York Times
