Grab Booty

About the Book

A vicious, virulent bout of combined greed and hysteria known in the African-American urban parlance as “grab booty,” grips several money-mad, dogged, recognition-seeking citizens after the authorities post a huge reward for the capture of some escaped convicts from the tough Deloffre State Prison. Among the escapees is the mangy Roadblock. He is the armed and extremely dangerous leader of both the escaped prisoners and the notorious, sinister Satan's Guerilla terrorist gang. The hell-bent, reckless reward-seekers risk life, limb, human rights, triumph, and tragedy in their furious and fanatical efforts to nab the fugitives amid the all-out chaos in 1981 South Central Los Angeles.
