Description
Viper's Dream by Jake Lamar is a gripping novel set against the vibrant jazz scene of mid-century Harlem. In 1936, Clyde Morton boards a train from Alabama with dreams of becoming a jazz musician, but his talent fails him and he becomes embroiled in the city's underworld.
As Clyde navigates the treacherous landscape of Harlem's drug trade, he must confront what he is willing to sacrifice for his ambitions. With its richly evocative prose and hard-hitting themes, Viper's Dream is a compelling tale of love, loss, and survival in one of America's most iconic cities.
