Hi this is Betsy from Otto’s. There’s a book on the New York Times Best Seller list that will knock your socks off! Ghettoside is a heartbreaking look at murder in a south Los Angeles county. It’s as up close and personal as you can get to one real murder while zooming out to examine the plague of murders in that county—almost all young black men killing young black men—gangs showing their power, taking revenge and punishing suspected disrespect. The majority of these murders are never investigated or the killers prosecuted. The killing of Bryant Tennelle was the exception, for two reasons—the extraordinary investigative detective, John Skaggs and the father of the victim, Wally Tennelle, a Los Angeles detective. It took more than two years to gather enough evidence for a trial and the reader is with the investigators all the way. The author explores the causes and suggests a cure for this plague. Ghettoside - you’ll find it at Otto’s, a booklover’s paradise in the heart of downtown Williamsport.
