A business with overcoat pockets big enough to hold all the cops, politicians, senators and dignitaries it needs to keep the heat off and the eyes turned in another direction. Lane's boss teams his people with a black group called the U Street Crew. Lane's keen senses tell him something doesn't feel or smell right, especially when he is paired with a crew leader named Jinx. Altering the plan his way, Lane finds himself in the middle of an influential black dignitary's assassination. Shot and on the run from gangs, ATF, local police and his own people, Lane is forced to trust his new partner in crime, Jinx.
Death lies in their wake as the two run.
Their efforts to untangle the web of far-reaching deceit leads them through the underground network of gangs, drugs and dirty cops. Lane leads the entire entourage to a finale at the wedding of his boss's daughter. A church setting does not deter the action that follows. Depending on the trust that has quickly built between them, Lane and Jinx force all the players to the surface and the line between black and white becomes a muddy gray as they learn about their inner selves as well as about each other. If you do miss the book, hang on.
