Description
Product Description Round doorknobs can be difficult and painful to open for seniors, arthritis sufferers, children, and people with disabilities. Great grips make opening doors an easy task. Great grips are made of a soft, latex-free material and are designed so that anyone can turn a doorknob with a finger, elbow or closed fist. Glow-in-the-dark options make it easier to find the door at night or in an emergency. Review Outstanding Advance Praise for THREE-FIFTHS Named one of "The Best Books of 2019" by Chicago Tribune "Vercher deftly explores identity and the ethics of accountability in this debut. Fans of realistic social issue narratives will be immersed in the moral dilemmas of this timely novel." —Library Journal (Starred Review) "Vercher builds strong, multifaceted characters with bold strokes, using the tools of noir to present what is finally a full-blown tragedy.” —Bill Ott, Booklist (Starred Review) "One of the best books of the week." —New York Post “A sad, swift tale bearing rueful observations about color and class as urgent now as 24 years ago.” ―Kirkus Reviews "A brilliant page turner. John Vercher is a gifted new voice in the crime fiction genre; I can’t wait to see what he does next." —Sujata Massey, author of THE WIDOWS OF MALABAR HILL "John Vercher has achieved what few others have: he has swung open a door that others either knew was there and feared what was behind it, or acknowledged what was there and falsely nullified its deceptions and dangers. This is a crime story that masterfully, beautifully, ingeniously reveals the duplicity of racial psychology and the far-reaching violence it spawns on the American landscape." —Stephen Mack Jones, author of the AUGUST SNOW thriller series "Feverishly entertaining. Resoundingly important. A book treading this kind of ground should not be able to move this fast. THREE-FIFTHS is an honest, fearless page-burner. Vercher is a writer to watch." —David Joy, author of THE LINE THAT HELD US "In THREE-FIFTHS, John Vercher uses an explosive act of violence to tell a very harrowing, very relevant story about race, but also family and friendship and masculinity—and all the dangers that come with those things. Keep your eye on Vercher—any writer who comes out of the gate this strong is bound for great things." —Rob Hart, author of THE WAREHOUSE and the ASH MCKENNA crime series "An incredibly timely narrative that packs a violent, heartbreaking punch. Vercher is now on the map." —Criminal Element "If a book can be both difficult to read and impossible to put down, it’s this book. You should read books that challenge you. This is such a book." —BookRiot " Readers must not only read THREE-FIFTHS, they must share THREE-FIFTHS, and above all, we must talk about THREE-FIFTHS." —BOLO Books "[A] searingly unforgettable story of secrets, identity, violence, and obsession. The book is short, but the effect on the reader will be long." —Neil Nyren, BookTrib "A complex narrative with far-reaching societal calamities prevail in this riveting and gripping drama consumed by flaw and emotionally driven characters festering along the racial divide."— Dru's Book Musings
