Reviews
"Follow an unforgettable cast of characters as they navigate The System in Ryan Gattis's pacy, polyphonic, hyper-real crime novel. Gripping, meticulously researched, and smartly plotted, I devoured this brilliant novel over the course of a weekend." --Paula Hawkins, author of Into the Water and The Girl on the Train " The System is an odyssey through a legal system you know but you don't know. It goes beyond the lawyer shows, cop shows, expert opinions, and headline cases, revealing a clinking, clanking, jury-rigged system that inadvertently seeks justice with a veracity that pulses with life. The ensemble of characters is fictional but not made up. Most are L.A. gangsters portrayed with an uncanny, documentary-like accuracy and grit. You're not reading about them; you're with them in a culture as accessible as a bus ride, yet as bizarre and byzantine as any you've seen on the Discovery Channel. The dialogue isn't dialogue; it's what you'd actually hear--on the street, in a courtroom, on the prison yard. And so it is with the entire book, sweeping and specific, an overview in exactitude, its relevance and insight transforming an excellent thriller into a historical document." --Joe Ide, author of the IQ series "An heir to Richard Price and Upton Sinclair, Ryan Gattis ingeniously casts deeply researched novels of social protest as page-turning crime fiction. The System is grade-A Gattis, by which I mean totally authentic, whether we're cutting corners with a conflicted cop or following a reluctant gangster into a terrifying prison war. This book blew my mind." --Dan Slater, author of Wolf Boys: Two American Teenagers and Mexico's Most Dangerous Drug Cartel " The System is as real as it gets--often brutal, but a beautifully written reality of not only life on the street, but also getting caught up or working in the justice system. Absolutely brilliant how Ryan Gattis was able to accomplish such streetwise authenticity. It makes one wonder whether he lived the life on one side or the other." --David Swinson, author of The Second Girl and Trigger " The System took me back, powerfully, to my incarceration in the early nineties. Wow. I relate so much to this book, it's painful. I could swear I did time with one of these characters in County. That's how real this novel is. I had to keep reminding myself it was fiction. Front to back, it's not just an incredible work, it's an experience. Especially for those with no idea what it's like to be inside." --Gustavo "Goose" Alvarez, author of The Pawn and coauthor of Prison Ramen "A stunning and unique achievement. The System 's panoramic approach--eschewing one main character for a whole set of people associated with a crime--sets it apart and shows how a single crime reverberates through a whole community. At the center of this dark story is a tale of redemption, an examination of loyalty, and a love song for family bonds. It's brilliantly done." --Patrick Hoffman, author of Clean Hands " The System is a tour de force that shatters all the usual categories: It is a page-turner, but one you will want to read slowly in order to savor every gorgeous sentence. It's got bad guys and good guys, but you're never quite sure who belongs in which category. And if a novel is magical when you feel like you know the characters intimately and like them despite the fact that they are mostly people you would ordinarily cross the street to avoid, then Ryan Gattis is a magician." --David R. Dow, author of Confessions of an Innocent Man

Synopsis
"Gripping, meticulously researched, and smartly plotted, I devoured this brilliant novel over the course of a weekend." --Paula Hawkins, author of Into the Water "Fascinating, moving, and so very, very real. It grabbed me by the heart and mind from page one and never let me go." --Marcia Clark, author of The Final Judgment An electrifying, multi-voiced thriller tackling our criminal justice system, from the writer Michael Connelly has called "one of our most gifted novelists." On December 6, 1993, a drug dealer called Scrappy is shot and left for dead on the lawn outside her mother's house in South Central Los Angeles. Augie, a heroin addict, witnesses the whole thing--before he steals all the drugs on her person, as well as the gun that was dropped at the scene. When Augie gets busted, he names local gang members Wizard and Dreamer the shooters. But only one of them is guilty. A search of Wizard and Dreamer's premises uncovers the gun that was used in the shooting, and a warrant goes out for their arrest. They know it's a frame-up, but the word from the gang is to keep their mouths shut and face the charges. With these two off the streets and headed for jail, Dreamer's friend Little, the unlikeliest of new gang members, is given one job: discover how the gun got moved, and why. Played out in the streets, precincts, jails, and courtrooms of Los Angeles, Ryan Gattis's The System is the harrowing story of a crime--from moments before the bullets are fired, to the verdict and its violent aftershocks--told through the vivid chorus of those involved, guilty, the innocent, and everyone in between.
