520 Meet Money Rock. He's young. He's charismatic. He's
generous, often to a fault. He's one of Charlotte's most
successful cocaine dealers, and that's what first prompted
veteran reporter Pam Kelley to craft this riveting social
history--by turns action-packed, uplifting, and tragic--of
a striving African American family, swept up and
transformed by the 1980s cocaine epidemic. The saga begins
in 1963 when a budding civil rights activist named Carrie
gives birth to Belton Lamont Platt, eventually known as
Money Rock, in a newly integrated North Carolina hospital.
Pam Kelley takes readers through a shootout that shocks
the city, a botched FBI sting, and a trial with a judge
known as "Maximum Bob." When the story concludes more than
a half century later, Belton has redeemed himself. But
three of his sons have met violent deaths and his oldest,
fresh from prison, struggles to make a new life in a world
where the odds are stacked against him. This gripping tale,
populated with characters both big-hearted and flawed,
shows how social forces and public policies--racism,
segregation, the War on Drugs, mass incarceration--help
shape individual destinies. Money Rock is a deeply
American story, one that will leave readers reflecting on
the near impossibility of making lasting change, in our
lives and as a society, until we reckon with the sins of
our past.
