Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world full of drugs, cars, money, sex, and hoes, you have your street kings, savages, thugs, bosses, dope boys and street legends. Well, meet the one and only... Death Escobar, better known as Dee by those close to him. He’s twenty-five and he’s at the prime of his game. Although all of those names describe him perfectly, he’s never desired to be called any of that. He wanted something different that would set him apart from the rest. He wanted to be called... a drug lord. Born and raised in the hood, Death comes from a place known as The Bluff, where the initials stand for Better. Leave. U. Fucking. Fool. That alone explains how dangerous it is to live in The Bluff. But Death embraced where he was from at a young age, and years later, took over the whole north, east, and west side of The Bluff. Of course, he wanted the south side too, but the king of the south, Ezekiel, didn’t fold like the rest. Already having his hands full, Death decided to let Zee keep the south side as long as he was splitting the profits with him; that is until Ezekiel crosses the line in the worst way. Rain, also known as Rain Escobar in the streets, is a twenty-one-year-old college student. She’s ambitious, goofy, caring and... deadly. She may be a college student by day, but by night she’s Death’s one and only Thug Misses. She understands what it means to be a true ride or die, and she’s all for it and has been for the past few years. But what happens when Rain’s childhood best friend, Nariah, starts talking to Ezekiel and sides must be chosen? Loyalty will be tested. Lines will be crossed. Decisions will be made, and hearts will be put on the line. When it rains, it pours, but how deadly will the storm be?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bluff is hot and everyone seems to want to take it over, but Death and Rain Escobar refuse to let it happen. The throne is theirs, and they don’t plan on getting off of it anytime soon. After being hit with a low blow by Zee, they quickly see what he is after and they don’t like it at all. The last person that tried to take The Bluff away from them ended up dead, and death isn’t an issue for them. Death and Rain has kidnapped Zee’s sister in an attempt to lure Zee to them. So what will he do in this hard time? Confrontation is key in the streets, but how will Zee handle it being that his sister’s life is on the line? Will he come out blasting? Or will he try to outsmart the main players in the game. Things have heated up, and Nariah seems to be unknowingly in the middle of everything. But, the big question remains to be, which side will she choose once she finds out what is going on. Everyone has a role to play and everyone has a position to be in. The only thing is, everyone isn’t satisfied with their spots, and when people are unsatisfied, changes have to be made. Death and Rain seem to be the main target, but there’s nothing like a little pressure to get the blood pumping. Will they come out on top, or will someone knock them off of their square? Will Zee take control with Nariah on his side like he so badly wants to do, or will this in fact be the end to his very existence? Loving a Drug Lord is hard. But love in The Bluff is harder.

Download or read book BMF written by Mara Shalhoup and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2010-03-02 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1990s, Demetrius "Big Meech" Flenory and his brother, Terry "Southwest T," rose up from the slums of Detroit to build one of the largest cocaine empires in American history: the Black Mafia Family. After a decade in the drug game, the Flenorys had it all—a fleet of Maybachs, Bentleys and Ferraris, a 500-man workforce operating in six states, and an estimated quarter of a billion in drug sales. They socialized with music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs, did business with New York's king of bling Jacob "The Jeweler" Arabo, and built allegiances with rap superstars Young Jeezy and Fabolous. Yet even as BMF was attracting celebrity attention, its crew members created a cult of violence that struck fear in a city and threatened to spill beyond the boundaries of the drug underworld. Ruthlessness fueled BMF's rise to incredible power; greed and that same ruthlessness led to their downfall. When the brothers began clashing in 2003, the flashy and beloved Big Meech risked it all on a shot at legitimacy in the music industry. At the same time, a team of investigators who had pursued BMF for years began to prey on the organization's weaknesses. Utilizing a high-stakes wiretap operation, the feds inched toward their goal of destroying the Flenory's empire and ending the reign of a crew suspected in the sale of thousands of kilos of cocaine — and a half-dozen unsolved murders.
Download or read book Locking Up Our Own written by James Forman, Jr. and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2017-04-18 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR GENERAL NON-FICTON ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEWS' 10 BEST BOOKS LONG-LISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST, CURRENT INTEREST CATEGORY, LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK PRIZES "Locking Up Our Own is an engaging, insightful, and provocative reexamination of over-incarceration in the black community. James Forman Jr. carefully exposes the complexities of crime, criminal justice, and race. What he illuminates should not be ignored." —Bryan Stevenson, author of Just Mercy and founder of the Equal Justice Initiative "A beautiful book, written so well, that gives us the origins and consequences of where we are . . . I can see why [the Pulitzer prize] was awarded." —Trevor Noah, The Daily Show Former public defender James Forman, Jr. is a leading critic of mass incarceration and its disproportionate impact on people of color. In Locking Up Our Own, he seeks to understand the war on crime that began in the 1970s and why it was supported by many African American leaders in the nation’s urban centers. Forman shows us that the first substantial cohort of black mayors, judges, and police chiefs took office amid a surge in crime and drug addiction. Many prominent black officials, including Washington, D.C. mayor Marion Barry and federal prosecutor Eric Holder, feared that the gains of the civil rights movement were being undermined by lawlessness—and thus embraced tough-on-crime measures, including longer sentences and aggressive police tactics. In the face of skyrocketing murder rates and the proliferation of open-air drug markets, they believed they had no choice. But the policies they adopted would have devastating consequences for residents of poor black neighborhoods. A former D.C. public defender, Forman tells riveting stories of politicians, community activists, police officers, defendants, and crime victims. He writes with compassion about individuals trapped in terrible dilemmas—from the men and women he represented in court to officials struggling to respond to a public safety emergency. Locking Up Our Own enriches our understanding of why our society became so punitive and offers important lessons to anyone concerned about the future of race and the criminal justice system in this country.

Book excerpt: Here is the whole story of the world of drugs—from the infamous Opium Wars to the legal availability of narcotics in the United States during the past century; from the unexpected boost given to illicit drugs by Prohibition to the great success of the French Connection. The global drug trade is one of the most prominent examples of the law of supply and demand. Despite such countermeasures as the execution of narcotics dealers in China and the United States's much-ballyhooed "War on Drugs," drug traffickers have always managed to meet the demand and satisfy an ever-growing customer base. In addition to offering a wealth of little-known facts, The War on Drugs also covers major dealers, cartels, organizations, smuggling and anti-smuggling strategies, major miscalculations and disasters, drug epidemics, legal restraints, famous incidents, and more.

Download or read book Fallen written by Karin Slaughter and published by Dell. This book was released on 2016-09-27 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A complex, gripping, and deadly serious novel that reflects anew [Karin] Slaughter’s abundant talent.”—The Washington Post WATCH WILL TRENT ON ABC • “An absolute master . . . Slaughter creates some wonderfully complex and mature female characters, a distinctive achievement in the world of thrillers.”—Chicago Tribune “You know what we’re here for. Hand it over, and we’ll let her go.” There’s no police training stronger than a cop’s instinct. Faith Mitchell’s mother isn’t answering her phone. Her front door is open. There’s a bloodstain above the knob. Her infant daughter is hidden in a shed behind the house. All that the Georgia Bureau of Investigations taught Faith Mitchell goes out the window when she charges into her mother’s house, gun drawn. She sees a man dead in the laundry room. She sees a hostage situation in the bedroom. What she doesn’t see is her mother. . . . Faith is left with too many questions and not enough answers. To find her mother, she’ll need the help of her partner, Will Trent, and they’ll both need the help of trauma doctor Sara Linton. But Faith isn’t just a cop anymore—she’s a witness. She’s also a suspect. The thin blue line hides police corruption, bribery, even murder. Faith will have to go up against the people she respects the most in order to find her mother and bring the truth to light—or bury it forever.
Download or read book An East Tennessee Nightmare Lying in Wait written by Babette Anton and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-11 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The men and women of Appalachia are strong and self-sufficient. In Roane County, Tennessee they most often have lived on and between the foothills of the Great Smokey Mountains. Times changed and as they did in this story, those who had become clearly isolated in their long-standing culture took change personally. They didn't like it. Leon and Rocky Houston are two such men, along with a large group of sympathetic followers. In the end that sympathy portrayed years of self-styled, anti-government lawsuits as well as the death of a sheriff's deputy and his retired, disabled ride-along officer. To believe the fifteen to twenty years of this rising storm ended in death for two men patrolling the public road "reserved" for the Houston clan came only as somewhat of a surprise. To believe that the storm clouds descended due to a school zone traffic violation five years before the killin's was at first a mystery. But a deep look at Rocky's 2001 courtroom "ticket tantrum" unveiled much more: Then and there he reportedly threw himself on the floor while yelling, "if you remember Waco you haven't seen anything yet." The comment's starkness unwinds within the book to explore the "sovereign citizens and militia mania" of the 90's and where that might have taken the brothers Houstons' thinking and need to kill "a few cops."
