You think you may know. But you know nothing. First came A Leg in Oklahoma City, followed by a dose of BLACK CYANIDE / white pill.

From the bloodstained streets of Beijing, to the bowels beneath Bakersfield High, it is the pump and pull of power and paradox; and the throbbing triumph of love and memory. Concrete Ghosts is the final entwining of undeniable lives, veining the outermost edges of our common humanity.
"No one can say this story is not true." So begins this debut novel, a work that took more than 20 years to conceive, research, and write.
