Within the pages of Weed and The Syndicate one can find further evidence as to why Clarence Cooper Jr. never received the literary acclaim he deserved. Unafraid to address those issues considered unpalatable, Cooper once again probes deep into the dark underbelly of American life.
While The Syndicate focuses on syndicate hitman Andy Sorrell's attempt to locate those responsible for a New Jersey bank heist, Weed is a more communal look at the lives of those whose aspirations are tempered by social poverty and the omnipotence of drugs.
In this, their first publication in the UK, both Weed and The Syndicate provide ample opportunities to view Cooper's writing at its best and most controversial.
"Cooper writes with a personal authority that can only be called shattering and the searing exactness of one who has lived through the horror." --New York Herald Tribune
