PDF Free Download Deacon King Kong By : James McBride Book Descriptions: In September 1969, a fumbling, cranky old church deacon known as Sportcoat shuffles into the courtyard of the Cause Houses housing project in south Brooklyn, pulls a .38 from his pocket, and in front of everybody shoots the project's drug dealer at point-blank range.

When the truth does emerge, McBride shows us that not all secrets are meant to be hidden, that the best way to grow
