Witness the vicissitudes of youth through the eyes of three different families in this bold tale of immigration, racism, and social politics.
Based on a crime witnessed in his childhood, Richard Worrell's debut novel, Nexus, illustrates life obstacles, decisions and consequences amidst the turmoil of youthful hubris while examining how crime and racism infiltrate the lives of three families. The individual narratives of each storyline character are a coalescence of several different individuals the author has known. Through their experiences, Worrell explores the zeitgeist, interwoven paths and life circumstances and multi-generational relationships of three central families.
Daria Keenan is a web designer and fervent supporter of Steve Bannon. Her affiliation with white supremacists, including her powerful and power-hungry aunt, Jeri-Lee, puts her at odds with seasoned journalist Carl Graham. Carl's investigations into the D'Bettano corporation have made him enemy number one, and when it comes time to silence Carl, Daria is more than happy to oblige. Traveling back in time to the 1960s to the Canarsie neighborhood of Brooklyn, Detective Dan McBride is investigating mobster Paolo D'Bettano whose ability to stay under the radar while committing atrocities makes him untouchable. But Det. McBride may just prove to be a worthy opponent. And there's Mary DeLuca and her best friend Jimmy Fain. An Irish immigrant, Jimmy's father is a vocal critic of racism, making him a target of the merciless D'Bettano crime syndicate.
Drawing inspiration from his childhood in New York City and current life in Northern California to set the scene, Worrell's knowledge of Brooklyn alongside his extensive historical research paints a vivid portrait as he moves from present day to the past, shining a spotlight on the generational legacy of racial animus while readers draw moral and ethical conclusions.
