Tracy Kane is the man – tall, good-looking, and arrogant. He’s the top model for a hip-hop clothing line by designer Christian Elijah. When Tracy punches an African bootlegger in the face for pirating the clothing line he models, he’s arrested and his life takes a turn for the worse.

Christian Elijah, CEO and founder of the eccentric clothing line, claims he has Tracy’s best interests at heart. But all he’s really interested in is making more money. After he posts Tracy’s bail, Christian begins jerking around Tracy and several other models, withholding their paychecks. Even worse, Christian has involved the models in a deal with two of the Congo’s most ruthless African killers, who have concocted a vile plot against New York City police officers that involves sending coded messages within the inner sleeves of Christian’s clothes. The designer is playing a dangerous game that could leave all their lives at risk.

This fast-paced thriller will send chills up your spine as you discover the tangled web woven by backstabbers.
