THE MONSTERS OF GRAMERCY PARK by Danny LeighLed by a dream she's had, Lizbeth Greene stumbles upon knowledge of prison inmate, Wilson Velez -- former head of a gang known as the Sacred Incan Royals. Even before meeting Wilson, Lizbeth knows she was destined to write his story.
At times chilling, and at times not, THE MONSTERS OF GRAMERCY PARK had me wondering what would come next. I loved how the author made Wilson Velez switch between English & Spanish in his dialogues (books that do this help people learn a second language, in a way, and I think that's awesome!).
Descriptions of the prison system were very detailed. I'm sure Mr. Leigh visited a prison in research for writing this book (which is funny, as his character, Lizbeth, does the same in her research for *her* book!)
A great look at the life of gangs, and life inside a penitentiary. Very interesting.
