United States V. Mitch Rolls

An unsuspecting drug dealer becomes involved in a political nightmare in Michael C. Thompson's thrilling debut novel, "United States vs. Mitch Rolls."

Little does Mitch know that his, Gladstone's, and DJ Downey's actions will spark an investigation and prosecution for murder and political corruption that will rock the political world...
