Green Sun A Novel

by Kent Anderson

Before Hanson arrived in Oakland in the winter of 1982, he had already seen some of the worst of humanity on a tour of duty in Vietnam and a stint in the Portland, Oregon police department. And then he moves to California to join the under-funded, understaffed Oakland police force. Unlike nearly all of his fellow officers, Hanson deliberately chooses to live - alone - in the precinct that he patrols; he, unlike the rest of the white OPD, takes seriously his duty to serve and protect the black community of East Oakland. He will encounter prejudice and hate on both sides of the line and will struggle to keep true to himself against powerful opposition and personal danger. This powerful, literary noir is a story both of America's divided cities and one man's divided soul."--Provided by publisher.
