K'wan Foye's Gangsta: An Urban Tragedy is a suspenseful novel of Lou-loc, a skilled assassin of the Crip gang who tires of the street life and considers a better way to live his life. Lou-loc follows his aspiration of becoming a writer, while at the same time a ruthless sociopath gang buddy of his by the name of "Gutter' is striving to become a king of crime with the gang culture. Threat of death is lurking close to hand for Lou-loc, and those who have lived by the gun are constantly under the gun's ominous shadow. Gangsta is a raptly engrossing, deftly woven tale which marks K'wan Foye as a writer of significant storytelling skill.
