Temple of Doom (Paperback)
Seller: Grand Eagle Retail, Fairfield, OH, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Temple of Doom: And Other Stories of Kids and Crime, by the award-winning journalist Mike Sager, is a pocket collection of true stories-first published in Rolling Stone, GQ, and Esquire-that shed light on the incredible intersection between underage kids and adult crimes and punishments. In the title story, police are baffled when eight Thai Buddhist monks and one nun are killed execution-style in a temple outside Phoenix-the worst mass murder in Arizona history. Nobody wants to believe the crime has been committed by a pair of gung-ho ROTC students from the local high school. In "The Death of a High School Narc," the fortunes of a small Texas town are changed inexorably when the city manager decides there is a drug problem at the local high school. In "Raised in Captivity" we meet Gary Fannon, who lost years of his life to a trumped-up arrest, a crooked cop, and draconian drug-sentencing laws. The decade he spent in prison taught him lessons no man should ever have to learn. "Revenge of the Donut Boys" visits Newark, New Jersey, which once had the highest rate of car theft in the nation, 56 percent of which were perpetrated by teens and pre-teens. "Death in Venice" takes us to the barrio in Venice, California, where the author embeds for six weeks with the once-proud Mexican American gang V-13 during the height of the crack epidemic. Life inside an L.A. gang. In "Fact: Five out of Five Kids Who Kill Love Slayer" the author embeds at home and on tour with the thrash metal band Slayer, rumored to be "violent and heavy drug users," who "worship Satan." Perception meets reality."Sager has made a career of finding the unexpected story and telling it with empathy and narrative skill." -Publishers Weekly Temple of Doom is a collection of five true stories that shed light on the incredible intersection between underage kids and adult crimes and punishments.
