Description: Candice Hardaway is the daughter of rising New York drug kingpin Eric "Easy" Hardaway, who has plenty of money and just as many enemies. When Candy arrives home from school and finds that her entire family has been murdered, she runs to the only person she can trust-- her uncle Rock. Joseph "Rock" Barton is a reclusive first-class "cleaner" who performed hits for Easy and ultimately became a distant part of the Hardaway family. When he takes Candice in, it's not long before she asks him to teach her the skills necessary to take revenge on the drug dealers responsible for killing her family--P. [4] of cover.
