Books by James Brown

In this book, the same lovable characters, including Granny Z, that the reader has encountered in the first two books are still present and just as lovable or disgusting as before. And like the 1st two books, Granny Z tells the same wonderfully engaging children tales for all children to help lift their heads-up. The time table is set in a very difficult to explain time period of racial turmoil and continuing racial injustices spiraling out of control taking place everywhere. Everyone is either working hard or angered by not having any work. It is a time of many powerful events challenging America and the Cold War is blistering to a fever pitch. The Soviet Union and America are engaging each other in cat and mouse games of dangerous war tactics where young men and women are being killed away from the General Public's eye. A Soviet Nuclear Submarine Base being built on the coast of Mexico only adds to the furious nature of this novel and the Cold War.

Granny Z's son, Ricky Roosevelt, and Ricky's best friend, Buster Brocks, continue trying to protect Los Angeles as LAPD Supervisors.
