The Snake

by John Godey

SnakesFictionAmerican literature

This is a fantastic suspenful novel. It's the story of a sailor who brings a black mamba into NYC on leave. He is mugged and the black mamba (a deadly snake) is free to roam...in and out apartments. Deadly. Suspenseful. I've turned six teenagers into avid reading by giving them this book to read!! And it's just as great for adults!! My favorite Godey book!
