By Kevin Bullock. 2008
This is a heart throb called Court in the Streets that takes place in Durham, North Carolina. Santonio and Jason…
Parker are cousins who are living the high life. They're responsible for seventy percent of the city's heroin. Competition is none, and money isn't an object. Life couldn't get any better, but the fairytale ends when a string of home invasions turn their lives upside down. Amia Parker, Santonio's sister, finds herself a victim of a home invasion and a brutal rape. When she identifies Curtis Atkins, one of the cousins' workers, as one of the robbers, the cousins vow to hold court in the streets. Michael Bynum is a homicide detective that's assigned to several cases that the cousins are suspected of. Like every other crime that they are suspected of, the evidence almost does not exist. The likelihood of a conviction is unlikely, so the detective takes matters in his own hands in attempt to end the cousins' spree. When series of events bring on deadly reactions, the cousins find themselves fighting for their lives in more than one way. Not only are the State and Feds after them, they also have an enemy from the past that's determined to beat the agencies to the punch; but in his own little sick way. This isn't a story that glorifies violence and drug dealing, this is a story that shows you the other side of the game and how it affects everybody.Twentieth-Century Spies

By Nikolái Lilin. 2010
Basada en la experiencia personal del autor, esta novela relata la extraordinaria historia de los urcas, una insólita comunidad de…
bandidos siberianos que tienen el dudoso honor de ser los únicos oponentes a Stalin que fueron deportados desde Siberia en lugar de hacia Siberia, destino de miles de víctimas del régimen soviético. Los urcas fueron expulsados por el dictador ruso a la Transnistria, una larga franja entre Moldavia y Ucrania, aún hoy una tierra de nadie -en 1990 declaró su independencia, pero ningún estado la reconoce-, asolada por la corrupción, el crimen organizado y el contrabando. Y precisamente allí nació y se crió Nikolái Lilin, en el seno de una gran familia que se enorgullece de no reconocer otra autoridad que la de sus ancianos, obligando a sus miembros a respetar un estricto código de conducta que les permite definirse a sí mismos como «criminales honestos». Con un profundo sentido de libertad y justicia,y exaltando valores como la lealtad, la humildad y la generosidad, los urcas no sólo prohíben las drogas, la violación y el desprecio hacia los débiles, sino que incluso castigan estos delitos con la muerte. Y como símbolo tangible de una ética tan peculiar, los tatuajes se presentan como un libro misterioso cuyas páginas custodian un lenguaje que nunca debe pronunciarse. Apasionante y desgarradora, pero no exenta de sentido del humor, Educación siberiana es una gran epopeya personal relatada con una voz enormemente cercana y cautivadora. Reseñas:«Para leer este libro hay que estar dispuesto a olvidar las definiciones del bien y del mal tal como las conocemos [...] Lilin construye un mundo con su propia voz, y eso lo convierte no en un simple testigo, sino en un verdadero escritor.»Roberto Saviano, La Repubblica «Un libro verdaderamente increíble.»Il Mattino «La construcción de este libro es una espiral centrífuga en la que cada objeto y cada personaje llevan su historia junto a Nikolái y retratan una sociedad paralela y desconocida.»Rolling StoneRun to Me: Last Chance Rescue Book 3 (Last Chance Rescue)
