Down the Dark Streets

Written by William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone

Narrated by Cody Roberts

A shocking wave of mass evictions triggers a national crisis, a media meltdown-and all-out war-in this explosive new thriller.

THIS IS NOT THE AMERICA WE LOVE.

From coast to coast, American families are losing their homes. Evicted with little notice and tossed into the streets by predatory bankers, landlords, and real estate developers, these once-proud homeowners have invested their lives in the American Dream-only to see it turn into a nightmare. But one tightknit community is fighting back. They've decided to stand their ground, defend their homes, and fight the power-with firepower . . .

THIS IS WAR.

Enter Joseph Knox, a military veteran whose parents have been targeted in an illegal scheme to turn their quiet but slightly rundown neighborhood into luxury condos. The man behind the project has the backing of greedy investors, sleazy lawyers, and a corrupt police force. But the Knox family has backing, too-a makeshift army of real Americans who refuse to surrender. With some last-minute training from Joe Knox and his brother John-and a small arsenal of weapons-this ragtag team of senior citizens will do whatever it takes to save their homes. Even kill if they have to.

Reviews for Down the Dark Streets

[Mary Powell · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

This reads as a drama. While marked thriller, nothing overt happens. The first half is engaging. A beautiful love story between an elderly couple. And then the story falls apart.

Illness brings one son home, then the other, both around 50 years old with dialogue of 10 year olds at best. There is a group of people attempting to abuse an elderly neighborhood. I still am stymied as to the genre thriller being attached.

The war that is mentioned is a street fight.

Encouraged by the first half, the latter and subsequent ending were irrevocably disappointing. Narrator Cody Roberts was okay. I suppose one can only be as good as the material given.
