I'm Jack & I'm Back: The Basement Pit

I'M JACK & I'M BACK: The Basement Pit, sequel to critically acclaimed novel, I'm Jack & I Want More, is a suspenseful revenge-driven thrill ride about the consequences of one man's struggles as a result of reckless choices. Raw truths build and merge during this gritty, meandering tale illustrating non-traditional integrity and dysfunctional passions. Films and books have emerged about infamous Cleveland gangsters and their real-life battleground in Collinwood. I'm Jack & I'm Back is a fictional account of the aftermath of the vicious Cleveland Bomb Wars of 1976. This book reveals an untold story of one family's loss and suffering, while made-men, outlaw bikers and inner-city thugs are pitted against one another in a struggle for power and money.

Without the guidance of his streetwise father, Jack's son and Rocco's bereaved sister and mother become prey as a result of scams concocted to gain even more control. The family realizes why gameness is life itself and how respect and loyalty are as rare as they are priceless. In this gritty tale of graphic brutality leading up to and following a Pit-bull fighting for life, Rocco finds himself boxed-in as the main event with no foreseeable way out...not without his family being further victimized. They learn that things aren't the way they seem and people are not as they appear, while danger escalates along with drug abuse. In this saga of graphic violence, contrasted by very dark humor, Rocco realizes that the best way to escape further pain is to confront it head-on. This emotional roller-coaster offers twists and turns within the all too often dark world of the American Pit Bull Terrier as well as stratified change-ups found in the always murky worlds of addiction and organized crime.
