*** Media Release ***
Suosso’s Lane, by
American Novelist Robert Knox Released on Web-e-Books®
The Innocence of an Executed Immigrant Sought
at old Plymouth Home
Quincy, Massachusetts, USA–
Suosso’s Lane, fiction by American
author Robert Knox, is being released on Web-e-Books® in support of world-wide,
cross-platform distribution of his socially relevant novel on the inequitable
treatment of early 20th-century immigrants. Based on the scandalously unjust
trial and execution of Sacco and Vanzetti for a murder they did not commit, the
international cause-celebre of the 1920s, Knox's novel follows the search for
evidence of Vanzetti's innocence lost for decades to a government sanctioned
frame-up.
The
Tri-Screen Connection, LLC, publisher and distributor of the exclusive e-book,
is providing the technology platform and online shopping website for Suosso’s Lane.
In
the Story
In Suosso’s
Lane, journalist and creative writer Robert Knox revisits the history of
Plymouth, Massachusetts, "America’s hometown," at a time when
immigrant factory workers struggled to make their way in an America of long
hours and low wages. The book traces the circumstances that led to the
notorious trial and widely protested executions of Nicola Sacco and Plymouth
dweller Bartolomeo Vanzetti, targeted by local authorities for their radical
beliefs and framed for a factory payroll robbery and the shooting deaths of two
security guards.
A newly edited novel, Suosso’s Lane dials back the clock to revisit the flawed trial of
Italian immigrant Bartolomeo Vanzetti, a believer in "the beautiful
idea" of a classless society in which all would work for the common good.
A sober-minded laborer, Vanzetti suffers from the exploitive treatment of
industrial workers in the early decades of the twentieth century. Outraged by
the greed and injustice that mar his idealistic hopes for the "New
World," he joins other anarchists in promoting strikes and preaching
revolution. In 1920, Vanzetti and his comrade Nicola Sacco are nabbed by police
looking for radicals and subsequently convicted of committing a spectacular
daylight robbery and murder. After seven years in prison, even as millions of
workers and intellectuals around the world rally to their cause, the two men
are executed.
Seventy years later, when a young history
teacher moves into Vanzetti’s old house in Plymouth, Massachusetts, he learns
of a letter that might prove Vanzetti’s innocence. His attempt to uncover the
truth is hindered by obstacles set by a local conspiracy theorist, the daughter
of Vanzetti’s lover, a shady developer, and the eruption of a fire during his
search of an old Plymouth factory.
