He was a police informant in the Fillmore district, the Harlem of the West. April Jones owns Universal Bail, "Your Freedom Is Our Job." April gets Mary out of jail, and that's when her troubles with the police begin. Peter Plate drives a poetic narrative of gentrification, conscience, good clothes, and bad cops in a world where the only choice is life over the proximity of death. Peter Plate lives in San Francisco. He is the author of Soon the Rest Will Fall, Fogtown, One Foot off the Gutter, Snitch Factory, Angels of Catastrophe, and Police and Thieves. 9781583229316 0.00
