Book Overview

Donald Goines's powerful first novel in the Kenyatta series lays bare the bloody, brutal world of crime in the black ghetto--where, as Goines puts it, "kindness is 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.

"All those other black] writers, no matter how well they dealt with black experience, appealed largely to an educated, middle-class, largely white readership. They brought news of one place to the residents of another. Goines's novels, on the other hand, are written from ground zero. They are almost unbearable. It is not the educated voice of a writer who has, so to speak, risen above his background, it is the voice of the ghetto itself." --Michael Covino, The Village Voice

A great book for your bookshelf!

I’m so happy with my purchase! I got the bonded leather version and it’s absolutely beautiful. It’s navy blue bonded leather with gold writing and gold foiling on the pages, along with a gold book ribbon. Happy i went with this edition so it’ll hold up when i read it to my children
