Sinopsis

For ex-offender Titus Stevenson, a return to college shouldâÇÖve been a breakthrough in the transition back to society. But he arrives at a campus hardly in the mood for healing--itâÇÖs on the verge of tearing itself apart.A string of racial scandals have battered the schoolâÇÖs reputation. Every weekend bad blood between partygoers, athletes, and townies erupts into all-out brawls. A booming drug trade spurs aggressive police crackdowns. And just as tensions with law enforcement have reached their peak, a serial rapist re-emerges after years of inactivity.Determined to graduate at yearâÇÖs end and enter a top law school, Titus wants nothing more than to put the past behind him. But the details of his violent conviction surface, and his quiet life as a student crumbles. Now a powerful dean wants him gone. A feud with the football team has him cooped up in his apartment. Maybe an old love will work out this time around, but something doesnâÇÖt feel quite right.HeâÇÖs got one year left to set things straight. When progress doesnâÇÖt come fast enough, old demons return, threatening to derail his life forever--and it just might push the campus over the edge.University Thugsáis a story of redemption and reinvention in an unforgiving world. On one level, it poses broad questions about the transformative power of higher education. YetáUniversity Thugsáis undoubtedly a book with heart. It offers a frank, deeply-felt portrait of young people throwing themselves headlong into dreams, and their loyalties to one another when things donâÇÖt go as planned. Told in a kinetic style across multiple perspectives, the novel takes the reader on an emotional journey--through hope, despair, tenderness, rage, and all points in between.
