Kathryn Addison Thomas, “Kat”, is a survivor of Atlanta’s Bowen Homes Projects and nobody
messes with her sons...especially gang members bent on recruiting them.
So, when Milton Davis “Mad Dog” Lincoln is banished by the leadership of his street gang, The
Raven’s Claws, as a suspected federal informant, he tries to start a new chapter of the Claws in
Poplar Bluffs. His first recruit, Quinton Thomas, wants to be a Claw, but sees Mad Dog for what
he is, an obsessive , violent user of others to achieve his own ends. To that end, Mad Dog
subjects Quinton, his brother, his girl friend, and his other friends, even other gang members, to
fear, intimidation, injury and even death attempting to intimidate Quinton into joining.
It’s up to Detective Mike Eiser to sort out Mad Dog’s agenda, but because of fear, and because
Mad Dog uses his gang members to commit chargeable crimes for him, Eiser is limited to
charging Mad Dog with petty crimes, at least for a while.
When Mad Dog’s federal management team decides to use Mad Dog’s contact with a North
Korean agent –provocateur to sell guns illegally for themselves, Mad Dog responds with
multiple double-crosses, and a desperate plan to take the money and run. However, his desperate
plan runs head-long into a showdown with Detective Eiser and the Jericho County Sheriff’s
Office.
Literally crawling out of a disastrous confrontation, Mad Dog makes a last run at revenge against
Quinton Thomas for rejecting him and the Raven’s Claws...with completely unpredictable
results. But then, Kat Thomas is a survivor, and nobody messes with her sons...especially gang
members bent on recruiting them...and, something hidden in Kat’s background may help
Quinton even more.
