Deacon King Kong
(Large Print)

"A novel" -- cover.

In September 1969, a fumbling, cranky old church deacon known as Sportcoat shuffles into the courtyard of the Cause Houses housing project in south Brooklyn, pulls a .45 from his pocket, and in front of everybody shoots the project's drug dealer at point-blank range. The characters -- caught in the tumultuous swirl of 1960s New York -- overlap in unexpected ways. When the truth does emerge, they that not all secrets are meant to be hidden, that the best way to grow is to face change without fear, and that the seeds of love lie in hope and compassion.
