Description

Donald Goines, one of the most prolific writers of the 20th century, has influenced many of today s urban writers with his gritty, realistic look at the streets. For the first time in over a decade, his classic expose of a drug dealer s brutal rise to the top of Cocaine Mountain is now repackaged and reissued in trade with a whole new look to attract new readers, as well as long-time fans of the legend himself. King David was determined to claw his way out of the mean streets of New York City any way he could. It didn t matter if that meant battering and robbing old people, conning the innocent, or even killing a kid s mother. Lacing cocaine with battery acid for revenge was acceptable too. Ultimately, it meant leaving town. Now King s made it big, and made his way back, flush with cash and a Cadillac. But he hasn t been forgotten–or forgiven. And when payback time hits, he s only got one wish–not to die alone.
