A first of its kind, a gay gangster paperback by a former denizen of the streets. This novel starts in the streets of San Francisco and ends up, via the ladder of successful rappers and gangster operations, in a castle in the Berkeley Hills, but in so doing it traces the lives of unforgettable characters and depicts especially the intense love between two men caught in traps, sometimes of their own making, but certainly mostly traps of the everyday societal morass of black urban life. Reading it is not for the faint of heart. The language is strong, authentic street black patois, and the action is sometimes brutal. While there have been other noted gangster novels, this is the first gay version, to our knowledge. That may lead to distaste and even hatred on the parts of some in the life; we shall see.
