Publisher's Synopsis
Lynch Mob is a tale based on the social evolution of NYC's lucrative drug trade during the 1980s and burgeoning into the late '90s and far beyond. This is a powerful story that had to be told about the forgotten children of NWA and Biggie Smalls and Tupac, whose fiery lyrics added fuel to the deadly drug crews that turned the city's streets into bloody turf battles for control of the lucrative insidious crack trade.
This work is about a time when David Dinkins, New York City's first black mayor, took office amidst the worst drug scourge in the city's history. Upwards of two-thousand drug-related murders a year were being committed on the city's streets while the NYPD's top brass waged a campaign of open hostility towards the city's first black mayor and turned a blind eye to cops under their commands engaged in wide-scale corruption, drug dealing, extortions, and even murders, which were chronicled in the Judge Mollen corruption hearing in the 1990s.
