Free ebook- Young Junius by Seth Harwood!
Podcaster and crime writer Seth Harwood's new book, Young Junius, came out recently, and he's offered my listeners his ebook!
In 1987, fourteen-year-old Junius Posey sets out on the cold Cambridge (Mass.) streets to find his brother's killer in a cluster of low-income housing towers—prime drug-dealing territory. After committing a murder to protect his friend, he finds himself without protection from retribution. His mother gives him fifty dollars and instructions to run, but Junius refuses to live a life in hiding. Instead, shocked by the violence he's created and determined to see its consequences, he returns to the towers to complete his original mission.
"Harwood's cutaway view of a single bloody day in a housing project is an impressive feat . . . Harwood's empathy runs deeply indeed." —Booklist (review: Young Junius)
"Searing … a vicious black comedy of murderous errors. Harwood pulls no punches." — Publishers Weekly (review: Young Junius)
"I loved the way he drew a canvas and filled it with characters. I'm still afraid of some of them." — Seth Godin on Seth Harwood's Jack Wakes Up
