THE LAST KINGPIN by Relentless Aaron

October 31, 2007 by Daniel · Leave a Comment 

Meet Brian “Freeze” Carter. He’s part pimp, part hustler. He drives a Bentley Continental T, which he can park anywhere he wants – because he owns the streets and demands respect. His bodyguards protect him at all costs…and live in fear of his wrath. Even the women who love him can’t melt his heart. If only they could get deep into his soul, and pull him up from the underworld of the city’s thriving drug industry, maybe Freeze could finally find a way to clean up his act – before it’s too late…

Afraid for her life, Gina makes a run for it and lands in the arms of Jay, who vows to protect her and keep her safe, only Gina doesn’t realize that Jay is really Jerrell, Qua’s archenemy.

In a plight to find love again, Gina opens her heart, not realizing that Jay has far more than love on his mind – and revenge in his heart.

This powerful and heavily autobiographical novel chronicles the disconcerting initiation of a college-educated waiter and writer Sid Bailey into the teeming life of Logan, a Harlem welfare hotel.

Black flim-flam man Deke O’Hara is no sooner out of Atlanta’s state penitentiary than he’s back on the streets working the scam of a lifetime. As sponsor of the Back-to-Africa movement he’s counting on the big Harlem rally to produce a big collection – for his own private charity. But the take - $87,000 is hijacked by white gunmen and hidden in a bale of cotton that suddenly everybody wants to get his hands on. With Coffin Ed Johnson and Grave Digger Jones on everyone’s trail and piercing together the complexity of the scheme, Cotton Comes to Harlem is one of Hime’s hardest-hitting and most entertaining thrillers.
