Produktbeschreibung

Stepping back from his critically acclaimed crime genre novels, Roland S. Jefferson's White Coat Fever takes the reader on a fascinating trip back in time to the exciting world of the 1960's, when Motown, Jazz and the civil rights movement defined an entire generation. And nowhere was the aspiration of upward mobility more evidenced than on black college campuses where some middle-class black women became obsessed with the idea of marrying doctors.

September, a hauntingly attractive civil rights worker who finds both love and brutality in Mississippi jails.....

Perry, a brilliant medical student spoiled by good looks and his reputation as the ultimate womanizer...

Aiyana, a self centered predatory social climber determined to marry a doctor at any cost, even if she doesn't love him.....

Bennyboy, an idealistic and principled young medical student who shares an illicit past with a girl he once loved.....

Here then is Roland S. Jefferson's magnificant, highly imaginative and immensely compelling story of a black cultural lifestyle at a pivotal time in history.....as four young people are plunged into the center of a raging conflict between political idealism and the relentless obsessions about class, color and romantic entitlement. But obsessions, even noble ones, can sometimes go tragically awry.....

Autorenporträt

BIOGRAPHY

Born in Washington DC, Roland Jefferson was raised in Los Angeles. In 1976 he tried his hand at writing fiction. His first novel, The School On 103rd Street was published to critical success, taking its place along side the works of acclaimed authors Sam Greenlee and John Williams. It has been published three different times in the US and simultaneously published in Germany, while garnishing numerous awards and accolades including its selection by the Los Angeles Times Book Review for inclusion in its 'Guide to Literary Los Angeles 2001.'
A prolific author, Roland S. Jefferson continues to write novels in various genres, all of which are invested with compelling modern day themes and dynamic multilayered characters that demand your attention. Whether its stories of contemporary Middle Eastern terrorism in 559 TO DAMASCUS; a casino heist in A CARD FOR THE PLAYERS; an art-deco hotel robbery with romantic triangles in DAMAGED GOODS; the frame-up of a female lawyer by corrupt police officers in the contemporary crime noir ONE NIGHT STAND; or the obsession with 1960's middle-class values in his latest novel WHITE COAT FEVER. Roland S. Jefferson's novels span such a diversity of human experience with edgy characters so highly charged that just reading about them is an adventure in itself.

Semi-retired from a career as a forensic psychiatrist, the author resides in Los Angeles.
