Rome (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781645567981)

In the underworld of the drug games, even father and son may be led to face off.

Never let the left hand know what the right hand is doing... it was a lesson Rome Johnson learned the hard way. On top of the world and seemingly in full control of his environment, Rome ran the major inner city drug game in Atlanta. He had it all. The money, the house, the cars, jewelry and the cherry on top was the love of his young life, Draya. However, Rome's reality is changed forever when the someone he trusted with his life double crosses him by joining forces with his rival and enemy, Slaw. Together they conspire to murder Rome, a deed they thought they succeeded in, and take over Rome's operation.

Two decades after being assumed dead Rome is called back to the same streets he vowed to leave behind forever. Not for the money or the power, but for the son he never knew he had, Toosie. Young and with the same boss mentality as Rome, Toosie is more deadly than his father ever was. Taken under Slaw's wing, Toosie is quickly rising up in the streets as the city's next kingpin. However, when secrets come to light and Toosie finds out the truth about his father's downfall, he is faced with a difficult decision: to continue on a path of self-destruction orchestrated by Slaw, or leave it all behind like his father did. Feeling the threat and worried that Rome is back for his stolen throne, Slaw decides to make the decision for Toosie by finishing what he started. Even if that means spilling Toosie's blood alongside his father's.
