Newark, New Jersey, District Attorney Anthony Jacobs is confident of the witnesses and associates he has gathered to testify and vows to bring to justice Bernard James, Jr., Newark's most notorious gangster.
James, also known in the streets as "Dutch," is noted to be the most dangerous criminal to come up in Jersey in the last thirty years. From his experience and skill as a young car thief, Dutch recognized the opportunity to become the ruler of the streets and seized it.
Feared by all, and completely fearless, Dutch and his dangerous clique take over the lucrative heroin trade from the clutches of Nigerian drug lord Ojiugo Kazami. With both the respect and protection of the Italian Mafia, Dutch becomes the most terrifying force on the streets.
Now he's on trial for allegedly masterminding what the press has dubbed "The Month of Murder," a brutal, thirty-day, killing spree where none were spared. With Dutch facing multiple life sentences and a possible death penalty, the streets are in a mixed uproar of celebration and dread. Will this be the end of Dutch's reign of terror or just the beginning?
He is the master of the game. He's built the ultimate empire. But his story is only beginning. Now New York Times bestselling author Teri Woods brings you the second in the sensational Dutch trilogy, where one woman will rule Dutch's streets ... or destroy them.
She is the most merciless of his lieutenants, with style and skills that even the hardest hustlers fear ... and none survive. And with Dutch gone, Angel is fueled by a shattering vendetta and methodically eliminating every successor, wannabe, and mobster trying to lead Dutch's madly profitable organization. The only person between her and ultimate control: One-eyed Roc-aka Rahman-Dutch's other trusted lieutenant and a man with his own zealous master plan. He and his crew are cleaning up the streets and righting his wrongs by any means necessary. And he's checkmating Angel's strengths and playing her every weakness. Neither can stop. Neither will give in. And they will never surrender Dutch's lethal legacy, even though their last devastating power play could destroy it all ...
