Sympathy for the Devil

Hanson, the Vietnam-vet hero of Sympathy for the Devil, is now a Portland, Oregon, cop assigned to the inner city, where, in the summer of 1975, the easy availability of drugs and guns is turning the neighborhood into a war zone. Skilled at dealing with violence, Hanson is also dangerously drawn to it.Assigned to a run of controversial cases, Hanson feels his world spinning out of control: he becomes the target of a deranged killer. A fellow cop vindictively digs into his war record, looking to discredit him. And friendship with Doc, a fellow Special Forces veteran, now a drug dealer, will finally take Hanson past the point of no return.Experiencing with Hanson both the casual everyday brutality of cop work and the absolute need for a code of loyalty to make it endurable, the reader will feel he has entered another world, harrowing and inescapably real.Anderson, Kent is the author of 'Sympathy for the Devil' with ISBN 9780446352222 and ISBN 0446352225.
