Publisher Description

The son of Maya Angelou, Guy Johnson is a critically acclaimed author and poet in his own right. Echoes of a Distant Summer is the story of Jackson St. Clair Tremain, a San Francisco civil servant who thought he had left his old life far behind. In 1982, Jackson is summoned to Mexico to confer with his dying grandfather, the brutal hustler King Tremain. When King dies, Jackson inherits 50 million dollars-and the unwanted attentions of a malevolent bayou crime lord named Pug DuMont.

    — Publishers Weekly
  • “Partly an African American version of The Godfather, with a similar body count… achieves [a] high standard of page-turning readability.”

    " Not as good as "Scratch Line" but an enjoyable read nonetheless because it allows you to find out what happened to the characters that so sucked you in during the first book. Also, as fine as Jackson sounds, he simply could not fill his grandfather's Stedson! "
