And with a city and his new "family" under siege, Darryl Billups is after justice...as well as the story of a lifetime. But it could cost him his life to get it.
Up Jumped the Devil will astonish blues fans who thought they knew something about Robert Johnson.
In Baltimore, black reporter Barryl Billups receives an anonymous tip that neo-Nazis are preparing a campaign of terror against African-Americans. A crank call, he assumes, but it turns out for real. A debut in fiction.
As a result, this book not only destroys every myth that ever surrounded Johnson, but also tells a human story of a real person.
