The System by Ryan Gattis

When gang member Dreamer is framed for murder alongside his friend Wizard, who is the actual killer, Dreamer faces a difficult decision: betray his gang or remain silent and hope the system proves his innocence. 


Told through multiple perspectives, The System reveals the inner workings of the criminal justice system and illustrates how justice is not always achieved or desired. Driven by personal circumstances, ideals, wants, and needs, the system can deliver justice in the most unjust ways. Readers who enjoyed Upstate, Riker’s High, or Street Pharm will likely appreciate The System.--Claudio Leon
