With The Head of the Snake, author Tim Conner picks up where Dirty Harry left off, but on steroids. Faced with endless gang violence and death in Chicago, a band of Marine veterans becomes the law. Their solution is Camp Keokuk in Iowa where vicious gang members disappear forever. Plucked off the mean streets, the worst of the worst are dropped by helicopter into permanent storage beyond redemption. While civil libertarians may howl, the daring conspiracy of revenge justice spreads and citizens applaud. Through fast-paced storytelling with characters that come vibrantly to life, Conner touches the third rail of urban policy, and sends a shock wave into the pious programs that have tried to deal with it so far. The Head of the Snake is an electrifying jolt to the solar plexus of our social consciousness. Dirty Harry would be proud.

"Written in Blood: Post-Modern Penitentiary Poetry" is essential reading to understand how and why so many people are physically incarcerated or in mental prisons of poverty and spiritual debt. The poems can each stand alone, yet together, they tell a story of the problems bestowed on poor people by the moneyed elite, terror created by the prison industrial complex, the ills of godless religion, and misplaced love. People are hurting and are in need of a solution. This book provides several plans of action to counter the seemingly unending pain of moral decay and economic injustice. The spirit of this work is unity among marginalized people through identification of the enemy, self-love, family stability, and community building. For all people to reach their full potential, they must be unshackled from false pretenses, and made to understand they have a voice and a purpose. This seminal work is the beginning of that process.
