A searing tale of murder, mystery, deception, and betrayal as the reader is enveloped inside an intrigue of action and adventure, sensual romance and a splash of erotica. This novel reflects the unique storytelling skills of the author as he introduces yet another masterpiece of hip-hop urban fiction, where a reluctant crusader is forced upon a dangerous mission of robbing from the rich crooks and feeding the poor. The audacity . . . As he navigated the heights of ghetto stardom, he was bound to meet his match. It was fate. It was destiny. Mixing the sacred with the profane made for an elegance that sparked in Johnny's eyes. With Misty he had all the foundation he needed, and she believed him when he said it was them against the world. This kind of intimacy-his approach to her and his approach to Alex-represented a wholesome exchange. For all his size and swagger he was still a young man-one of the crafty ones, but he was still merely a baby maneuvering through the discord of another man's world. The caper . . . He did not think that he would have much trouble recruiting hookers and dope fiends simply because his mother had taught him the rules. In the streets, a system of sacred prostitution would be impossible. The ugliness of the game would fight against it, for prostitution of this sort could only be a product of organized crime. The kiss . . . He kissed her on the forehead. "I love you-" And it was the first time he had told her that. It just rolled off his lips so fast he almost couldn't believe it, couldn't believe he said it.
