From the girl that she was to the advocate for at-risk youth that she has become, Cragg's life and work give her a unique and powerful insight into crime's preventable causes and its devastating aftermath.
Sonja Larsen, author of Red Star Tattoo. Dead Reckoning is one of those books that will remain on my mind for a very, very long time. I applaud Carys Cragg's personal journey, and the graceful and highly articulate writing she employs to share her journey with readers.
Carys Cragg's father's murder was a tragedy, but the whole point of tragedy is that order is restored. In Dead Reckoning , she charts her tortured path from chaos to recovery with marvellous insight, determination and seering honesty.
This is a book for anyone whose life has been torn apart, seeking to put the pieces back together. What strikes me most poignantly in Carys Cragg's Dead Reckoning is that she is motivated by her needs, fired up by her wants.
Her integrity is expressed by her vibrant tenacity to share in dialogue with the offender, the man who took her father's life. Her clarity of expression is boundless. Add to GoodReads. Dead Reckoning. Emma was born and raised in Golden, Colorado, and has spent her adult years traveling and living around the American West and Alaska. But she is going to have to tread carefully here.
Powerful forces are at work and lives are on the line including her own. The world in which Bernice Duncan, Fisher, Green grew to womanhood in is the city behind the city-the old time Harlem street hustlers, numbers runners, dope dealers, gangsters, white and black clinging to their last vestiges of power, the hidden players who control the street games like puppet masters pulling strings. Enter into the world of the cunning, fabulously wealthy Butch Cassidy, the self -styled Don of Harlem who the FBI dubbed the Phantom because of his ability to slip through the arms of the law for close to two decades while he remained at the top of a very large drug organization, with ties to Mexican drug cartels and shadowy government agents who fly metric tons of cocaine into the US, landing at a secret base high up in the Ouachita Mountains in Arkansas.
Butch Cassidy distributes the tons of cocaine he receives shipped via tractor trailers from agents of the secret government alphabet agency that delivers the drugs to the parking garage he owned located in the industrial section of the Bronx.
Butch Cassidy's drug crews operate along the entire Atlantic seaboard from Boston to Alabama and all points in between. Protected for the most part by corrupt cops in the cities they're operating in. The drug crew's operations rake in millions of dollars a year. After his release from prison Big Jim went to work for the Cassidy organization as a fixer, calling in old markers from city politicians, greasing NYPD palms, reaching out to corrupt cops in whichever city the drug crews are operating in.
Big Jim is a degenerate horse player he could always be found every afternoon at the racetrack with a fist full of hundred-dollar betting slips.
