A former LeClaire Police chief has leaned on his "eye-opening" days in Phoenix of combating gangs, organized crime and the illegal drug trade to pen a new crime novel.
"El Lobo: Phoenix," written by Terrance Donegan, is a gripping novel detailing the police investigation of a vicious gang holding a working-class Arizona neighborhood in an iron grip of extortion, drug trafficking, human smuggling, and brutal violence. Officers Chris Kincaid and Thomas Bolan use inside intelligence and their impeccable investigative skills to hunt the elusive El Lobo and eliminate his gang and its control of the barrio for good.Â
From the book: "El Lobo, a recently released ex-con, returns to the barrio and the Westside Eleventh Avenue gang by controlling the drug and human smuggling trade in Phoenix. El Lobo starts by instilling fear in the residents by making them pay a new use tax for driving on one of the barrio's city streets... It is not until John Thompson, a city resident from outside the barrio, makes a wrong turn down North Eleventh Avenue and gets robbed that police are made aware of this use tax being charged by the Westside Eleventh Avenue gang."
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, "El Lobo: Phoenix" is available at bookstores including Barnes and Noble as well as online at Apple iTunes store, Amazon, and Google Play.
