After reading this book, I'm not surprised that the book wasn't published years ago when it was first written. Some people don't want to know the truth. And although it was written years ago, It could have been ripped from today's headlines. a man is walking home from work and is arrested and accused of murder. He is able to escape and goes into the sewer to hide underground. OMG, this story just took my breath away. I am so glad this book was finally able to be released to the public.
