Accomplishing all it took to make history, including rubbing elbows with celebrities and expanding his businesses out of state, he avoided all the bounties put on his head and NYPD's handcuffs. Ruby set the bar in Brooklyn, and when he finally became a legit family man, he left behind rules that would ensure not only success, but also humility, for the kings who would follow him. Ten years later, each of Brooklyn's kingpins has followed in Ruby's footsteps, making it out with their lives, freedom, and ridiculous amounts of money. Life is good; Brooklyn's people are good--and then Felix Brown, aka Straw, comes into power. Straw sucks Brooklyn dry. No one is off limits, and following another man's rules is a no-go. Living out his life stress-free in the Bahamas, Ruby receives a call from his proteÌgeÌ, informing him of the deadly turn Brooklyn has taken under Straw's control. Ruby had left that life alone, but how can he continue living the good life when his home is in shambles? What kind of king allows his kingdom to fall? Ruby's coming home. He thought he was out, but he's not."--back cover. 650 0 $a African Americans $v Fiction. $9 198697 650 0 $a Organized crime $v Fiction. $9 211186 650 0 $a Street life $v Fiction. $9 855051 650 0 $a Drug dealers $v Fiction. $9 389730 651 0 $a Brooklyn (New York, N.Y.) $v Fiction. $9 212275 655 7 $a Urban fiction. $2 lcgft $9 539286 655 7 $a Thrillers (Fiction) $2 lcgft $9 858642 830 0 $a Carl Weber's kingpins. 941 $a 3 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314024253.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010034012.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20230815010244.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A6376402300611EDA406B4E81FECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b KAYInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
