Set in 1946 in Little, Rock, Ark., 'Two Dead' by Van Jensen and Nate Powell is the fictional story of Gideon Kemp, a returning WWII veteran and trained law enforcement officer, secretly recruited to the police force by the city’s mayor in an effort to put an end to the sadistic, violent tenure of the longtime Police Chief Baily. In this 10-page excerpt we also meet two African American brothers on different sides of the law, in a gripping evocation of the violent social landscape of the 1940s racist American south. The book will be published in November by Gallery 13. Continue reading at 'Publishers Weekly'
