The question isn't who murdered her; the question is who wouldn't? Brooklyn Melody James has finally gotten the punishment she deserves after leaving a web of lies, heartache, and betrayal behind her. As her life slips away, Brooklyn remembers the events that shaped her into the cold, calculating creature she became. Brooklyn learned the art of hustling from her parents who used the church to get money. Idolizing her father and despising her mother, Brooklyn's determined to be the type of woman who makes her own rules. When her back's up against the wall, she sacrifices her family, takes the burnt offering that remains, and runs away. In NYC, young Brooklyn charms her way into the inner circle of hustlers and stick-up kids, learning tricks along the way. She catches the eye of a major player in the drug game, Hassan, and they have a breathless love affair. Brooklyn becomes integrated into his operation, earning the trust of Hassan and his associates. But when she gets the keys to the kingdom, driven by unfettered ambition and a ruthless desire to survive, Brooklyn snatches the pot of gold, leaving bitter retribution promises behind her. From DC to Maryland, Brooklyn burns bridges and breaks hearts. What she doesn't realize is that someone is prepared to end her reign of terror. As she faces her killer and her fate, Brooklyn's stunned that justice comes from the least likely place"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Large type books. 650 0 $a Murder $x Investigation $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women drug dealers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Criminals $x Crimes against $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Organized crime $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Large print books. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Urban fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 2 945 $a lpt 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240524010647.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240402012904.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9B2086A6F0B811EE9EC0998A3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
