Synopsis

The late Hip Hop artist Tupac Shakur predicted it: America’s ‘FINAL SOLUTION’ to its War on Drugs. Black men are disappearing, being abducted. And no one is asking questions. Not the media, not the police, not the government. They’re participating. Investigative reporter Cinque Solomon stumbles upon the key to the truth while covering what he believes to be another drug-related murder in a violence-plagued Southeast DC neighborhood. Soon, Cinque becomes the target, and when professionals fail to kill him, he’s framed for three murders, including those of two police officers. Now, everyone wants him dead, a shadow government agency, the police and a brutal, drug trafficker he helped imprison. Cinque’s running out of time, and to save his life and thousands of others, he must expose the plot and overcome his tragic past, ultimately saving the lives of some he considers scourges on the nation’s urban communities. National Black Authors Tour bestselling author Eric Christopher Webb’s (E.WEBB?!) highly-anticipated debut novel offers an unsettling commentary on America’s War on Drugs and a chilling explantion to several national events by ambitiously weaving a storytelling mix of Donald Goines, (Never Die Alone, Crime Partners, Dopefiend, etc.), John Grisham (The Firm, The Pelican Brief, etc.) and Sam Greenlee (The Spook Who Sat By The Door) into a conspiracy thriller reminiscent of John A. William’s controversial novel, The Man Who Cried I Am. The Garvey Protocol: Inspired By True Events promises to alter how one interprets the news, government initiatives and public policy forever. Read it before it’s banned!!!
