A good surprise This story moved fast and furious! Yes, I loved it that way. Rain and Face, cool names by the way, are a surprise. I don't know if I could go through what Rain is going through and survive. Face seems to be an enigma, the man is smooth and hard at the same time. Honestly, if I said more, I would give the story away and I don't want to do that. I love the storyline and I can't wait to pickup part two. A good surprise This story moved fast and furious!

This mystery will have your mouth hanging open with disbelief. Isaiah was a promising athlete from a normal, black upper class home in an upper class neighborhood in Chicago. His father felt that Isaiah needed to "be in touch" with the southside community of Chicago so that he wouldn't be "soft" I guess? But that decision led to Isaiah being shot and killed on the basketball court. The strange thing was out of all the bullets sprayed onto the court, Isaiah was the only one shot. And the shot stra This mystery will have your mouth hanging open with disbelief. Isaiah was a promising athlete from a normal, black upper class home in an upper class neighborhood in Chicago. His father felt that Isaiah needed to "be in touch" with the southside community of Chicago so that he wouldn't be "soft" I guess? But that decision led to Isaiah being shot and killed on the basketball court. The strange thing was out of all the bullets sprayed onto the court, Isaiah was the only one shot. And the shot strategically missed his heart. His friend, J.R., who shot back at the SUV that fired the shots was wrongly imprisoned for his murder. J.R.'s godfather, who goes by the nickname of "Face", knows J.R. is in innocent. Lorain, Isaiah's mother, is now an alcoholic. Her son's death has left her reeling and her husband left her after their son died for some tawdry trisket. In the blink of an eye she went from a being a wife and mother, to divorced and alone...with these cryptic dreams about her son that seem to be trying to tell her something -- or torture her -- but either way she tries to keep the dreams away by drinking herself to sleep at night. Then one day Face comes into her job and tells her that the person in jail for her son's murder isn't the guilty party and her world, already shaken, begins to crumble. She thinks Face's motive is that Face, a notorious drug kingpin, just wants his godson out of jail. She hesitantly entertains his story and when she is met with resistance after providing some overwhelming evidence that the police want to ignore, she and Face begin to dig deeper, but they never expected the cover up to reach so deep, far, and wide. Isaiah's death was made to look like just another senseless act of gun violence. A turf war. But was it?? Or was it an elaborate scheme pulled off by some ruthless powerful people who were knew the black man's life holds no value in society's eyes and this his untimely death would be deemed as the typical tragic end because, you know, that's how "they" are? I won't say anymore because I want the element of surprise to hit you like it hit me. So I'll end this review by saying read the book. You won't regret it!
