Produktbeschreibung

Names Like Prayers is a searing Appalachian Noir novel that exposes the truth behind a prison experiment cloaked in theology.

Three voices bear witness:

• Desmond Rios, a reluctant survivor, carries his brother's recorder into congressional hearings, determined to expose the lie.
• Evelyn "Mama E" Washington, the woman they couldn't silence, counts the names of two hundred twenty-one children like rosary beads, refusing to let them vanish into statistics.
• Dr. Elena Volkova, a scientist who once called murder "research," must decide whether to confess her complicity or lose her soul forever.

Inside Black Hollow, knives blessed like sacraments turned rehabilitation into ritualized slaughter. Children branded as gang members and predators chose instead to love across racial, gang, and ideological lines. A Crip shared his last insulin with a white supremacist grandfather. A girl once marked by hate taught her rival to tie a tourniquet. They became family in hell.

But power called their love gang violence. Governors called it divine mathematics. And America looked away.

Names Like Prayers is not just a story-it's a reckoning. About how systems create monsters, how silence becomes complicity, and how even in the darkest places, love can prove stronger than hate.

For readers of literary thrillers and social justice fiction, this is a novel you won't forget.
