Setting is more than background in his latest standalone, The Night Gardener, where the neighborhoods of Washington, D.C., are as integral to the storyline as the characters,” remarks David Thayer, in his first book review for January Magazine. “Covering the decades between the Reagan era and now, this novel is an informal history of powder cocaine's progression to crack and the violence that has destroyed a generation of black families in the process.”Read Thayer’s full critique of The Night Gardener here.
