Freddie B.

Revolutionary novel that dared to envision the United States' first CIA spook who knew how to play the game better than they did. Powerful book by Brother Greenlee.

Brother Gil was a musical genius plagued by lifelong addictions that started in his teens. He went through so much and gave even more. One of the greatest to rise, fall, and break even.

Got it for Christmas and read it before I read Flicking The Bic. Good book that tells the downside of crime from the detective's eyes. The mature suave Jean-Max is older and wiser in this but more arrogant in this one and gets what he has coming to him.

Read this back in the day. Only book I ever read solely for the back cover which featured the funniest joke about racism and a chicken you could imagine. Funny autobio novel about one of the darkest periods of American history.
