When Dr. Elwin Carter is confronted in his Watts clinic by two boys terrified by the brutal murder of their friend, his investigations lead him far beyond the usual suspicions of drugs or gang violence.
This 1976 first and only novel (potentially an upcoming movie) of forensic psychiatrist Roland Jefferson presents a frighteningly prophetic picture of the subterranean war between the races in America.
Roland S. Jefferson was born in Washington, DC but moved to Los Angeles at 6 years of age. He began writing during his college years at the University of Southern California where he received his BA degree. He then relocated to Washington DC where he matriculated at Howard University for graduate medical education. He then did a two year stint as a medical officer in the U.S. Air Force where he continued writing book and film reviews. After military service he penned his first novel, the highly acclaimed SCHOOL ON 103RD STREET now considered a classic canon in African American political fiction. Thirty five years and six novels later Roland S. Jefferson continues to write about edgy and provocative characters set in contemporary fiction with a touch of political reality, sexual inuendo and mystery.
