Slow Motion Riot
ByPublisher Description
As a probation officer in a city plagued by drugs, murders, and corruption, Steven Baum supervises marginal criminals—not dangerous enough for prison, but too damaged to go totally free. He watches them, keeps them in line, and once in a long while, helps one improve his life. The job is a vicious grind, but Steven is good at it, and he is about to be rewarded with a transfer to active duty. But first he has to deal with Darryl King.
A small-time dealer with big aspirations, Darryl is the kind of thug who makes probation officers want to quit. Although the boy terrifies him, Steven holds out hope for helping him turn his life around. What he doesn't know is that Darryl is a cop-killer—and his troubles have only just begun.
This ebook features an illustrated biography of Peter Blauner including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author's personal collection.
