Short Cut (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781944440008)

Ernest was the owner and head barber at the King Cut Barber Shop. He could cut out the likeness of Barack Obama, Marcus Garvey, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Malcolm X with the words 'By Any Means Necessary' onto a client's scalp with his straight-razor that would rival any accomplished artist. He'd done all right for himself and his family with a successful business on a rough corner in the hood, except he wanted more. All he needed was a loan to make his dream of In Ernest Gentlemen's Spa come true. When the bank said no, Eva, the attractive wife of Pinnacle Financial president, said yes. Giving Ernest more than he bargained for, his dream turned to a nightmare. When the volatile cocktail of passion, jealousy, and money are mixed together somebody is bound to end up dead.
