From the first page to the last, it had my attention. I had no idea that I would enjoy the book as much as I did. Everyone on Facebook was stating this was the book to read. Once I started reading the book, I was amazed how I couldn't put the book down! I had not read any of Sa’id Salaam books, but I was definitely surprised and impressed with his writing and ability to keep the suspense and plot boiling. I like how he was able to keep each character linked to the plot and how each and every name he mentioned was someone who had a significant role, no matter how brief or long they remained in the story. His flair for keeping things "real" about what happens in the streets, with friends, family and colleagues when one rises to the top, gave the book life. I love reading a book that gets you angry, happy, reacting to the characters, making you laugh and thinking, what's going to happen next. At times, the suspense is so thick and compelling that you know you have to get up in the morning, but you keep reading hoping you can get to part where you can stop until tomorrow. Let me tell you, it's hard with this book. The intensity with which Mr. Salaam writes and his art of describing things in detail gives the book that true sense of suspense. I TRULY enjoyed the book.
