This book brings Billy and Jackie, two hit men to the forefront. However, it wasn't until they ran into Kenyatta when they realized what they were truly capable of. The book is kinda short, but it also sets the tone for the Kenyatta series. There's plenty of murder in the book, but not simply senseless murder. Once you read the book, you'll see what I am talking about.

THIS WAS ANOTHER BOOK ABOUT LOYALTY! I ENJOYED THIS BOOK! AT FIRST I WAS LIKE, HERE WE GO HE IS TRYING TO SAVE THE STREETS! WHEN I GOT INTO IT I COULD NOT STOP UNTIL I WAS DONE!

I could not put this book down once I picked it up. I grew up in Detroit, and Mr. Goines mentions streets in the story that I have seen in person. The characters are well developed and the story never has a dull moment. It is very graphic in detail. For example, He decribes one shooting victim as having brain matter ooze from his head after a point blank shot. This book is full of emotion, from the first paragraph to the last...
