Synopsis

"The voice of the ghetto itself." —The Village Voice

The godfather of urban lit is back with the graphic, thrilling conclusion to Kenyatta's quest to reclaim his streets . . .

For Kenyatta, the living urban legend, the war is far from over. With new recruits bolstering his army, he's ready to take down the drug pushers destroying his. This time the battle is moving out of the streets and heading west, where he faces off with his arch enemy in a brutal showdown in Vegas, high atop a glittering hotel. One bullet, one hit, one survivor—winner takes all . . .

"He lived by the code of the streets and his books vividly recreated the street jungle and its predators." —New Jersey Voice
