District Attorney Anthony Jacobs thinks the trial of Bernard James a/k/a Dutch will be a slam-dunk and bring a lot of good publicity for the DA’s office. Dutch is one of New Jersey’s most dangerous criminals. The papers refer to Dutch as a “notorious gang lord” or the chief orchestrator of “The Month of Murder”.

Dutch began his criminal career at a very young age. As the trial progresses, the reader is able to relive Dutch’s career through witnesses at the trial and flashbacks that reveal Dutch’s true personality and his association with friends and family.

Dutch has a smile that wins friends who stay loyal to Dutch their entire life. Although the DA thinks he has Dutch exactly where he wants him, he is in for a big surprise.

Dutch is a book full of violence, drugs and gang talk. This may prove to be offensive to some readers.
