Brass Jacket

From the screenwriter of the hit feature film 'Blood and Bone' comes a powerful and violent novel about three determined women.

NONA JAMES is the pregnant, drug-addicted, teenager from the streets who witnesses her boyfriend's violent murder by Caesar Noon, son of a powerful mobster.

STELLA NOON is the ruthless gangster-mother who vows to use every weapon in her criminal arsenal to keep her son from spending the rest of his life in prison - even if it means killing the only witness - Nona.

JANICE MARTIN is the young, determined, Philadelphia police detective who, despite her own personal heartbreak and loss, stands between Nona and the assassins sent to kill her.

But beyond the bullets, bloodshed, dangerous chases, violence, tragic losses and shocking betrayals, the true heart of BRASS JACKET lies within the hearts of the three women determined to do whatever they must to protect their children, in an intense confrontation of wills between the gangster-mom, the teenaged girl she is determined to kill, and the cop who vows to protect her.
