The Purification Project

Stanley Thomas, the protagonist from the novelette, A Love Supreme returns. Suffering the effects of a failed marriage, Stan becomes even more sensitive to the plight of the underprivileged, specifically minority victims of police brutality. Stan uses his contacts to assemble a highly skilled task force to directly confront the renegade cops and give them a dose of their own medicine. In doing so, Stan and the other members of the Purification Project come to realize how pervasive the hatred is, and that like matter, it cannot be destroyed but merely transformed. Aside from the battle, the story is laced with good jazz, gourmet cooking and, of course, a healthy dose of romance.
