Slugg is a blueprint for survival and a demonstration of the power of love, sacrifice, and service. The son of a Kingpin and the prince of a close-knit crime family, Tony Lewis Jr.’s life took a dramatic turn after his father’s arrest in 1989. Washington D.C. stood as the murder capital of the country and Lewis was cast into the heart of the struggle, from a life of stability and riches to one of chaos and poverty. How does one make it in America, battling the breakdown of families, the plague of premature death and the hopelessness of being reviled, isolated, and forgotten? Tony Lewis’ astonishing journey answers these questions and offers, for the first time, a close look at the familial residue of America’s historic program of mass incarceration.

Slugg is available as an e-book on Amazon, I-Tunes, and Barnes and Noble. Hard copies will be available for purchase July 31st. The official book launch will take place on July 31st from 7pm-9pm at Bus Boys and Poets, 5th and K NW, Washington DC.
