Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Fool, a streetwise kid, ran with the neighborhood gang. He had always managed to get along with the different crews because of who he was and the color of his skin. His neighborhood was his kingdom, and he rarely ventured from the southeast side of Chicago. That changed after his arrest for armed robbery and attempt murder. He had a feeling he'd been set up, but he didn't snitch. His so-called friends grew uneasy as to the outcome of the case and decided they would be better off without him. Fool was forced to leave town. He met a stranger, Sam, at the Hard Rock Casino in Indiana. Mysterious from the start, Sam was everything Fool was not-older, wealthy, a man of the world whose street sense came from thinking things through. They made an unlikely pair, but their lives intertwined, drawing Fool into a wider world unseen and unknown from his limited street life.JP, a successful attorney, represented Fool, also grew up on Chicago's southeast side. Unlike his client, J.P. maneuvered his way around the gangs and didn't become a part of them. He climbed the social and professional ladder until the top was within reach. Things were good...very good. But everyone had a weakness, and JP's was believing his own press. A one-night stand with a woman, successful in her own right, changed the arc of his life. For both JP and Fool, consequences soon crashed their world. Accused of a brutal crime, JP faced professional and financial ruin. As for Fool, he finally realized he couldn't outrun his past, even though he'd spent his life staying ahead of what's behind.For those who enjoy thrillers and a bit of Chicago this is the book for you.
