The Savage City by T J English

"T.J. English has the mastered the hybrid narrative art form of social history and underworld thriller. The Savage City is a truly gripping read filled with unexpected twists and turns."

--Douglas Brinkley, author of The Great Deluge

In The Savage City, T.J. English, author of the New York Times bestselling blockbuster Havana Nocturne, takes readers back to a frightening place in a dark time of violence and urban chaos: New York City in the 1960s and early '70s. As he did in his acclaimed true crime masterwork, The Westies, English focuses on the rot on the Big Apple in this stunning tale of race, murder, and a generation on the edge--as he interweaves the real-life sagas of a corrupt cop, a militant Black Panther, and an innocent young African American man framed by the NYPD for a series of crimes, including a brutal and sensational double murder.

T.J.English is the author of the New York Times bestselling novels Havana Nocturne, Paddy Whacked, The Westies, and Born to Kill, which received an Edgar Award nomination. His screenwriting credits include NYPD Blue and Homicide episodes, for which he received the Humanitas Prize. He currently resides in New York City.
