Hellhound On His Trail: The Stalking of Martin Luther King, Jr., and the International Hunt for His Assassin is a work of nonfiction that reads like a thriller. "Magnificent in scope, drawing on a wealth of previously unpublished material, this nonfiction thriller illuminates one of the darkest hours in American life—an example of how history is so often a matter of the petty bringing down the great." (Doubleday, 2010)

Seekers Book Club is a monthly book discussion group that reads classic and contemporary works by African American authors. The series is a partnership between Johnson City Public Library and the Langston Centre.
