Description



Book Synopsis



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.



About the Author

His most recent novel, PICTURE IN THE SAND, was published in 2023 and praised by Stephen King as " an authentic tour de force, the kind you lay aside to read again." He lives in Brooklyn, N.Y.
