About Lincoln’s Touch
LINCOLN’S GHETTO SERIES
What do you get when dirty lawyers, the Chicago Mob and the Vatican are hell bent on snatching incredible riches away from an innocent unsuspecting young heir at any cost? What happens when they get confronted by a tough South Side Chicago squad driven to protect that heir at all costs? You get a web of high level controversy, mixed with double handed lies and deceit. You also get dogged street level jurisprudence ready to deliver a gut punch to protect and save their golden child.
This four book series digs into ugly U.S. history and unleashes some of the worse DNA. Fueled by the possibilities of riches beyond belief, the lucky SOBs who can do enough damage to snatch the bounty away will not be unscathed. The story takes you on a trip into locations not well known in Illinois where unwanted information needs to remain suppressed.
During a dark period in early U.S. history, European migrants swarmed into the new fledgling and lawless nation struggling to find its identity. After emancipation of its slaves, a deep fracture opened an infected wound of racism and greed. Before his assassination, Abraham Lincoln left a last will and testament which will yield his descendants generational wealth and power. However he left one requirement: they must find an African-American or Native-American to give part of the inheritance to before it can be actualized, the first reparations. With most of Lincoln’s descendants dead and gone, one distant family member in the 1970’s seeks to attain the bounty. Grand forces of greed and racist hate will go to great and unimaginable lengths to grab the spoils. They are all on the hunt for the will’s riches, taking this effort into a deadly direction. In the middle of it all, an African-American Chicago South Side father and son find themselves in a fight for their lives not knowing where all of this unwanted attention is coming from. The beginnings of their journey into Lincoln’s legacy will change their lives forever in LINCOLN’S GHETTO.
