A harrowing, down-and-dirty depiction—sometimes reminiscent of Steven Soderbergh’s Traffic—of America’s war on drugs, by former dealer and California artist Langohr.

Locked up for a decade on drugs charges and immersed in both philosophical tomes and modern pulp thrillers, Langohr penned Roll Call, a light fictionalization of his troubled life. “I went from obsessively pacing my cell and wondering and worrying about how I was actually going to get my attorney to defend me, and how many years this sentence would bring,” writes Langohr in an afterword, “to realizing that if I find a way to write what’s in my head, I can find a way out of this hole I had put myself in!” The book’s hero is Benny “B.J.” Johnson, a kid who grows up in a troubled home. His parents are essentially good, but they fight often. Eventually, his mother escapes, departing in a “small car with over a hundred thousand miles on it and some clothes.” From there, B.J.’s descent is all but inevitable—he hangs out with the wrong crowd and starts dealing. But the author is not content to tell the story from only the protagonist’s perspective. Instead, he toggles the angle like a master director, taking in the stories of American lawmen, Mexican dealers, outlaw bikers, prison guards, pawn-shop dealers and a dude named El Diablo who says things like, “I have a master plan that I am willing to share with you.” Roll Call makes for exciting reading—gunplay, covert operations and backhanded deals abound. The author succeeds by wisely using his experiences to fuel the narrative. A vivid, clamorous account of the war on drugs.

"Roll Call" by Glenn Langohr--Amazon

Roll Call is a prison list with a cast of characters that include Mexican drug cartels, Southern California street gangs and Hell’s Angels all fighting for their piece of the drug culture. Add a good detective squeezed out of the loop by an overzealous narcotic detective; a robust prison union calling bad shots; a handful of drug criminals trying to find their conscience and you have the perfect recipe for a revolutionary uprising, bound by blood, all leaving the reader wondering, who are the real criminals?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

New crime fiction novel strives for deeper understanding of drug war

Roll Call, a suspense novel by Glenn Langohr, offers an insider’s look at the problem of drugs behind prison walls

ORANGE COUNTY, Calif. – Roll Call, by former inmate Glenn Langohr, seeks to reveal the dark depths of the modern war on drugs and the missteps he feels are taken by the American criminal justice system when imprisoning drug addicts.

Roll Call compares illegal drugs to the forbidden fruit in the biblical tale of Adam and Eve’s temptation.. In the novel, these forbidden substances lead to drug cartels, street gangs and drug addicts who become bigger criminals while incarcerated. Langohr suggests that Roll Call offers a revolutionary solution to many of the problems occurring in overcrowded prisons run by violence and segregated by race.

Langohr writes Roll Call from an insider’s perspective, having served time on drug charges. The author’s religious beliefs lead him to trust that everything happens for a reason. “I wanted to make all that I lived through have a purpose and open eyes to a deeper understanding of the drug war, prison unions and terror tactics, revealing another option for dealing with addiction,” says Langohr.

Roll Call is available for sale online at Amazon.com, BookSurge.com, and through additional wholesale and retail channels worldwide.

About the Author
Glenn Langohr was a runaway youth who was sentenced to numerous years in jail for drug charges. While in prison and influenced by reading the Bible, he was inspired to write Roll Call. Continuing his writing career in school, Langohr plans to work with runaway youths.

King Solomon

King Solomon was an addict! He published hundreds of works, had tons of wives, had a harem of stripper concubines, drank wine, controlled everything and gave in to all his urges and in the end realized he was chasing an allusive something unattainable in this world and finished by saying, "It is all meaningless! It all comes down to fearing God"
