L.A. Times bestselling author Neal Griffin paints a vivid portrait of a young man trying to avoid gang life in this compelling standalone novel drawn from his experiences as a police officer.
"Griffin knows the dark and violent world he writes aboutIt is our good fortune he is also possessed of the keen talent to write of it so vividly."--James Carlos Blake, author of The Ways of Wolfe "As one of the few national columnists in America who is Latino--and the son of a retired cop--I was eager to see how cop-turned-novelist Griffin would craft Omar Ortega, a Mexican-American teenager who straddles the line between overzealous cops and bad actors in his neighborhood until his lucks runs out. Telling that story, with all its realism and necessary color--but also with the nuance, honesty and complexity it deserves--is no easy task. [Griffin is] a gifted storyteller with plenty of grit and real-life experience to back up the prose."--Ruben Navarette
