The Head of the Snake - Paperback

With The Head of the Snake, author Tim Conner picks up where Dirty Harry left off, but on steroids. Faced with endless gang violence and death in Chicago, a band of Marine veterans becomes the law. Their solution is Camp Keokuk in Iowa where vicious gang members disappear forever. Plucked off the mean streets, the worst of the worst are dropped by helicopter into permanent storage beyond redemption. While civil libertarians may howl, the daring conspiracy of revenge justice spreads and citizens applaud. Through fast-paced storytelling with characters that come vibrantly to life, Conner touches the third rail of urban policy, and sends a shock wave into the pious programs that have tried to deal with it so far. The Head of the Snake is an electrifying jolt to the solar plexus of our social consciousness. Dirty Harry would be proud.
