Trenchtown
Summary
After a former stockbroker is released from prison seven years after being sentence to the death penalty, she fears that her new, idyllic life may not last forever as she battles her wariness of the strange foster home next door. At 28 years old, Jennifer O’Neill was a stockbroker and rising star who graced the cover of Forbes Magazine in 2008 as a powerful African American woman breaking through an industry dominated by white men. She was also contributing to illegal predatory lending, willfully looking the other way in her ambitious pursuit. When the housing market crashed, Jen’s life exploded into chaos – especially when she discovers her boss’s terrifying solution to beating an FBI investigation. Mercifully, Jen’s resulting death penalty conviction is overturned after seven years. Released into the arms of her loving boyfriend and the daughter she birthed in the early days of her prison sentence, Jen’s life finally seems to be taking a beautiful and serendipitous turn. However, Jen’s experiences have taught her one thing – nothing good can last forever. Besides, something is definitely chilling about their neighbors’ interest in her daughter.

The Miscarriage of Racial Justice
Summary
An unforgiving and profound timeline of the history of systemic racial injustice against Black Americans from Eisenhower in 1953 to Trump in the first half of 2020. 2020 marked a new era in the United States with what some consider a revival of the Civil Rights Movement, sparked by the shocking and unjust murder of George Floyd. However, systemic racism against the Black community has survived even after the emancipation of slaves 1863. The Miscarriage of Racial Injustice spans presidential eras including Eisenhower, Bush, Obama, and Trump, discussing oppressive and often deadly racial discrimination. It examines each president’s policies toward racism, including the 45th President’s response to protests and his contribution to a deep divide in the United States. Author Derrick Newton’s timeline is a profound and compelling look at inequality from the original Civil Rights Movement to the “audacity of hope” of Barrack Obama’s election to the first half of 2020. This unforgiving chronicle will stick with you and inspire you to join and endure the fight for equality.

El Cazador
Summary
Billy Dew is now wanted for murder in two states. He’s become the source of urban legends in the states he’s touched, his scars are recognizable, and his vintage Oakland A’s jersey has become something of a trademark. With the Oakland police in hot pursuit and having just crashed the van he’s stolen, Billy’s only option is to leap from the vehicle and roll under a nearby station wagon for cover. Unaware of which friends he still has in his corner, Billy’s only option is to keep his head down and make provisions for his escape for the border. It doesn’t seem there’s much refuge for an infamous killer such as himself, so he must be smart about the moves he makes, the steps he takes, and the company he keeps. The brutal murders in Billy’s wake have left him with memories of his burgeoning blood lust, the victims whose lives he’d felt leave their bodies, and an interest in delving to the darkest depths of his depravity. The inner workings of a serial killer are every bit as macabre as you’d think and just as relatable as you’d fear. Find out what serial killer Billy Dew will do next when you buy El Cazador: Billy Dew Part II.
