Official synopsis Publisher
By turns gritty and heartbreaking, this bold novel from legendary author Donald Goines, the OG Master of Urban Lit, tells the story of a young man awakened to vengeance in the aftermath of a brutal crime against his sister . . .
George Jackson was a “Swamp Man,” born and bred in the dark, watery woods of Mississippi. He was a gentle young soul—until he saw what four hill boys did to his sister. Then George turned as deadly as a water moccasin snake.
The boys had caught his sister soon after she got off the bus home from her first year of college. When they were through with her, she let her mind shut down, fearing the memory. Slipping through the swamps like a ghost, George stalked them, one by one, two by two . . .
