Meet Marcus. He bounces on the south side of Chicago, which is exactly as glamorous as it sounds. He's also a dad. Or was, until his son's mother and her latest questionable life choice, a boyfriend, decided to take the kid and disappear. Marcus, ever the optimist, tries the 'right' way: lawyers, cops, the whole nine yards. Turns out, the 'right' way is expensive, slow, and spectacularly useless when the system decides your problem isn't *their* problem. So, with legal avenues exhausted and patience thinner than a Chicago winter coat, Marcus decides it's time for Plan B. Plan B involves less paperwork and more... direct action. Because sometimes, when the world hands you lemons, you don't make lemonade; you find the people who took your kid and politely explain why that was a terrible mistake. For them. This is a story for fathers who understand that some lines shouldn't be crossed, and when they are, you don't wait for permission to cross them right back.
Nolan Bell Douglas Jr. was forged in the crucible of two cities and two families, navigating the crack epidemic, riots, and the general absurdity of the late 20th century. After spending two decades dabbling in the 'gray area'—because who needs a clear-cut career path when you can moonlight as a bouncer, trainer, and trafficker?—he traded the streets for suburban dad life. Now a proud father of two, homeowners, and apparently, a writer, he channels his unique perspective on life, legality, and looking after your own into his work. Consider this book part therapy, part memoir... mostly fiction, probably.
