Detroit Heroic
A Novel
A first-year intern is swept into the 1967 Detroit uprising — and framed for murder.
Martha and the Vandellas sang, “Nowhere to Run to, Nowhere to Hide.” That Motown song could have been composed for the desperate Dr. Matt Drummond, who, in 1968, is running. He never thought it would come to this. He only wanted to learn to be a good doctor — and to work in an underserved area to keep himself out of the Vietnam War. His internship began in the inner city on July 24, day one of the 1967 Detroit riot. The Nam would have been a safer destination.
