Goines’ powerful first novel lays bare the bloody, brutal world of crime in the black ghetto, where, as Goines put it, “kindness was the sweetest con of all.” Here is the gutsy and often shocking world of Billy and Jackie, prison buddies on the streets and hot on the trigger.

Larry Jackson, better known as Daddy Cool, is a ruthlessly efficient black hit man, equally effective with a gun or a knife in nailing his prey.
