Locked up for a decade on drugs charges and immersed in both philosophical tomes and modern pulp thrillers, Langohr penned Roll Call, a light fictionalization of his troubled life. ?I went from obsessively pacing my cell and wondering and worrying about how I was actually going to get my attorney to defend me, and how many years this sentence would bring,? writes Langohr in an afterword, ?to realizing that if I find a way to write what?s in my head, I can find a way out of this hole I had put myself in!? A vivid, clamorous account of the war on drugs. ?Kirkus Discoveries, Nielsen Business Media, 770 Broadway, N.Y Yk To find all of Glenn Langohr?s novels online go here-?http://www.amazon.com/-/e/B00571NY5A?
