New Novel Sheds Light on SNITCH Culture

Hip-hop meets civil rights in this riveting saga exposing the corrupt environment created by the government’s use of snitches. The drama revolves around flamboyant nightclub owner, John “JC” Powell. JC is ballin’. 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’s 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.

The novel contains a unique “After the Book Section” includes a reader’s guide of discussion questions, prison statistics, tips to become civically engaged, and a resource guide with a list of organizations working to reform the criminal justice system.
