Always Outnumbered, Always Outgunned

'Socrates thought about a promise he'd made. He swore to himself that he'd never hurt another person...That way he could ease the evil deeds that he had perpetrated in the long evil life that he'd lived'. Socrates Fortlow has spent 27 years in prison and can kill a man with his bare hands. But now he's out and determined to use his strength for good, to help the downtrodden and oppressed of the Los Angeles ghetto. Like his Greek namesake, Socrates Fortlow asks questions in an attempt to understand his world. His attempt to find morality in poverty and deprivation makes Socrates a modern-day hero.
