Title: DeVilliers County Blues
Description: Four very different young people from the East find themselves in an insane asylum in Texas accused of capital crimes.  They turn out to be victims of an organized crime human warehouse scheme to drive them insane because for different reasons the Mobs involved cannot kill them.  The four must put aside their deep divisions and effect an escape.  They attempt to strike back at their oppressors but a very evil surprise awaits.

Efforts by the New Jersey and New York State Police to obtain justice for the victims is foiled by the FBI, who are determined to  use the ringleader as a snitch for a headline grabbing Senate Rackets Investigation.  Written by a former law enforcement officer and state prosecutor with over 25 years experience in the criminal law arena, the book is an authentic police procedural thriller.
