On an urban battleground dangerously divided along racial lines, probation officer Steve Baum is desperately struggling to hold on to the last remaining shreds of his idealism, until Darryl King invades his world. A deranged young sociopath, one of the most bloodthirsty creations of a diseased society, Darryl has come to drag Baum along with him into an inescapable morass of terror and corruption. As their ravaged city explodes, they will stand face-to-face, mortal enemies trapped together in the heart of a devastating inferno that threatens to consume them both.

Reviews

“An intriguing new writer with a gift for smooth talk, fast action, and nasty surprises.”

“Rich…fast-paced…The book crackles with authentic street slang.”

“Tough as rivets…A solid, gritty, often funny book.”

“Gripping and powerful stuff…Vivid characters, plausible events, and scenes rich in human pathos make it an outstanding first novel.”

“Malcolm Hillgartner narrates with an old-time radio newscaster’s skill, though he can sound like a ghetto youth with attitude when needed.”

“Powerful…A jolting, urban authentic crime thriller.”

“Scary, violent, and caustically funny…unmistakably authentic.”

“Stunning…dead on…A tough, gritty, often unbearably tense story right out of today’s headlines…Explores an urban terrain little seen in fiction with insight and power.”
