"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.
