Roll Call

by Glenn Langohr

Overview

ROLL CALL the book shines a light on the dark, hidden underbelly of the U.S. War on Drugs. The author takes the admonition from the Biblical story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden where the snake tempted, "God doesn't want you to eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge because he doesn't want you to be as smart as Him," and relates it to the modern drug war, showing how the American justice system has turned illegal drugs into forbidden fruits; leading to a roller coaster ride of excitement through drug smuggling cartels, to So Cal street gangs, to outlaw bikers all trying to get their piece of the action. Add a good detective squeezed out of the loop by an overzealous narcotic detective; a robust prison union trying to call the shots; and a handful of drug criminals trying to hold on to their conscience; and, you have the perfect recipe for a revolutionary uprising, bound by blood; all leaving the reader wondering, who are the real criminals?

About the Author

Glenn Langohr has a purpose: he writes to shine a light inside our prison systems and to help others turn their lives around. Before becoming a best selling author, Glenn Langohr ran away from a broken home and entered the drug war with abandon. Business with the Mexican Mafia and Hell's Angels became a way of life until the Criminal Justice system interrupted him. In prison he was involved in riots and spent years in the hole. From solitary confinement he started writing and hasn't stopped since. Now, he is an usher at his church, speaks as a guest Lecturer at colleges and writes articles for newspapers. "I want to show the world and the students and leaders of tomorrow, that we are only building bigger criminals by locking up low level offenders. In prison, an addiction is bred into an affliction much harder to escape." Help him show the world redemption is possible, buy and share his books.

Editorial Reviews

Glenn Langophr is one of those rare writers who really knows what he is talking about. With Roll Call he has created a tremendous action story, with a real smack of authenticity. Convincing characters and a cracking read. Recommended.

I found myself singing the old Dylan track "There but for Fortune". Life is what you make it but also it depends on the hand you're dealt. I am from the UK and found this book in Kindle. Although it is fiction it is very credible. The writer has been there and bought the T-shirt. It was interesting to see the similarities that span the Atlantic. Prison doesn't reform people. It's the school of criminology. I liked the book and recommend it especially to younger readers.

A harrowing, down-and-dirty depiction—sometimes reminiscent of Steven Soderbergh's Traffic—of America's war on drugs, by former dealer and California artist Langohr.

Locked up for a decade on drugs charges and immersed in both philosophical tomes and modern pulp thrillers, Langohr penned Roll Call, a light fictionalization of his troubled life.

N/A - Kirkus Discoveries

This story pulled me in emotionally from the start. Roll Call by Glenn Langohr is a masterpiece. He uncovered corruption in his home town of Orange County, California with the head Sheriff and his son's rape case, and on a larger level, California's then Gov Arnold's involvment in sponsoring a political lie related to prop 66. A fast paced story of redemption and the power of faith in God.

N/A - Gloria Carter

This author, Glenn Langohr, is amazing. In Roll Call, I saw how his life went from a broken home to drug dealing and addiction. The characters are fascinating and the suspense is real. The main character, B.J is striving to find a way out of the drug world and ultimately finds it! I love the good detective, Maltobano and the story line. I can't wait to read his other books!
