Produktbeschreibung

Walking Mary, an old, experienced, prostitute, made 12th street her stroll. She, with her close friend, Denise, plied their trade together, as well as enjoyed a consciousness robbing, heroin high, together, while nodding in Sam's 12th street dope house. Had she known that her death at the hands of a crooked cop, Officer Spells, would be the spark that ignited the 1967 12th street riot, and cause the death of her dear friend, Denise, she would have given up her drugging and tricking and put herself into treatment.

Greg, and Jordan, two close friends, who visited 12th and used Mary and Denise's special talents, as well as two ex-cons and looters, Robert and Ray, are just a few individuals who's lives will be touched by the civil unrest.

As you read this work, keep in mind that some of the sorted details of events depicted here in are true as they happened. Several events are depicted as were experienced by the central characters of the story. Many other graphic events and places, are no more than fictitious fabrications cooked up in the mind of the author, to keep the story flowing.

The soul purpose of this work is to give the reader a general idea of the atmosphere, before, during, and after the civil unrest, commonly called the Detroit riot of 1967, while telling an entertaining tale, as experienced by several individuals.

Although, it is commonly accepted that the "civil unrest" began when police vice squad officers executed a raid on an after-hours, drinking club, or "blind pig" in a predominantly black neighborhood located at Twelfth Street and Clairmount Avenue, others, who were there at the beginning of the riot, might disagree.

I am not attempting to dispute where, or how, the disturbance began. I'm only writing from the point of view of someone who was there at the onset. It is very possible that the location and origination of the unrest could have had more than one focal point. I'll leave that to others to decide.

Autorenporträt

Marsell was born in Detroit Michigan in the year of... well, a good while ago. After graduating from Cass Technical High School, Marsell went to work for the Chrysler Corporation as a conveyor loader. Shortly after beginning his employment with Chrysler, he married, and fathered three children. Thirty-one years later, and after having gained the position of production supervisor, he retired at fifty.

After retiring, he began playing golf everyday and all day. Having lowered his handicap to near scratch, and winning a tournament at even par, and behind a debilitating injury, he was unable to continue playing. He had a lot of free time on his hands, whereupon, he took up writing as a hobby and time killer and discovered he had talent for spinning a yarn.

After pounding out eleven urban fictions, covering everything from drug use, prostitution, gang crime, murder, and romance/erotica, and having always been a science fiction fan from his teenage years, he thought he'd try his hand at writing a Sci-Fi tail, which culminated in his first work "Alien Plot - First Contact" now retitled "Alien Offensive - Nanobot Storm" and its four sequels, and which, at one time before he ran into problems with its publisher, was considered good fodder for production as a movie, not because he is such a great writer, but because of its unique, previously unexplored, plot.

He still lives in Detroit, and being a compulsive writer, he spends most of his time wearing out his fourth keyboard replacement, while pursuing what he loves doing writing more tails with unique story lines.
