Lisa's Latin Beat: Gunmetal Black
Puerto Rican lawyer turned author Daniel Serrano recently released his first novel, Gunmetal Black; It's the story of an ex-con whose dreams of starting over are cut short by corrupt cops and the gang life of his past.
Daniel grew up in Brooklyn and Chicago and now lives in Spanish Harlem. We walked around the Bronx couthouse where he used to work as a lawyer and around the streets of Spanish Harlem where he now lives.
We talked about how he became a lawyer and his transition to becoming a crime fiction author, his rough life growing up hanging out with gang-bangers on the streets of Chicago, and how the book almost didn't exist. In fact, the only copy of it was lost in Tower 2 during the World Trade Center attacks.
