Reporting For Duty - Jody L Franklin

. .

Résumé :
This timely and thought-provoking novel follows the journey of a young boy who witnessed the brutal slaying of his father at the hands of two corrupt police officers. The incident was a turning point for the boy, as he vowed to one day avenge his father's death. Now an adult, he purposed to join the police force, and years later, that the same two officers that took his father's life, would now face demise and judgements through the courts for not only his father, but the many families whose lives were altered forever by the unjust and inhumane acts of two cowardly officers. The novel carries a tone of compassion, understanding, and awareness for today's race relations, and for police brutality, and the unjust treatment and increasing number of slain African American males and society's castaways. It's a matter that affects everyone in this country, no matter your age, race, creed, or color. Fans of To Kill a Mockingbird are sure to enjoy this powerful novel.
