ABOUT SNITCHCRAFT :
Hip-hop meets civil rights in this riveting saga exposing the corrupt environment created by the government’s use of snitches. Flamboyant, smooth-talking, nightclub owner,

John "JC" Powell is balling. He's making more money than he can count, providing for his entire family, and on the verge of winning back the love of his life, Candace Banks. When he is arrested, convicted, and imprisoned based on the testimony of someone he trusted, JC struggles to clear his name and get back over two million dollars in assets seized by the government. As the pieces of the puzzle come together in a surprising courtroom drama, JC realizes that he is caught up in a ruthless game, playing against a criminal justice system set up to win by any means necessary. SnitchCraft juxtaposes the themes of family, spirituality, and social justice, against a backdrop of a popular Southern California nightclub and escalating gang violence.

There is a unique "After the Book Section" that includes alarming statistics, a reader’s guide of discussion questions, ways to become involved in change, and a resource guide of organizations working to reform the criminal justice system. PRAISE FOR SNITCHCRAFT:

"I was nailed to my chair! This is a life lesson everyone needs to know. Be careful who you trust!" Foster V. Corder, Director "The Legend of Dolemite"

"A captivating street-life saga that brings the history of the game, as well as the questions of morals and values, to the surface." LaToya Foster, DC Radio & TV Talk Show Host

"Intrigue, treachery, lies - nothing is as it seems in this Powell family saga."
