County Sheriff Winroe Reed: he ventured into America's Homicide Capital alone to apprehend a 6'9 homicidal crack dealer... a man so dangerous no other cops would accompany him.Chris Saffron: he worked the toughest drug gangs in Harlem, alone... even after his cover was blown.These are just a few of the courageous black heroes readers will meet in Hugh Holton's The Thin Black Line.
