Black Lotus 2: The Vow
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
After the death of a police officer, assassin Kahllah (aka the Black Lotus) is forced out of retirement in an attempt to clear her name while outrunning a mysterious enemy.
"K'wan follows up 2014's Black Lotus with another furiously paced work of urban pulp that fuses 1970s camp with violence, vengeance, and gore. Series newcomers may need a beat to familiarize themselves with the battle-scarred characters and their blood-soaked backstories, but come the closing cliff-hanger, they'll be every bit as invested in Kahllah's future as K'wan's longtime fans."
—MysteryScene Magazine
"Black Lotus 2: The Vow is full of the cinematic action and drama that K'wan is known for. Readers will be anxiously waiting for the next installment."
—Urban Reviews
"[A] riveting read from start to finish...Excellent."
—Exclusive Magazine
"An intensive read."
—Journey of a Bookseller
"K'wan delivers a lean, tightly plotted tale that balances noir aesthetics with comic book flair. Fans of pulp and urban lit will be well satisfied."
—Publishers Weekly
"From page one to the last, K'wan's Black Lotus 2: The Vow is a high-wire act with no net. A smart refiguring of hard-boiled with a nitro injection of new-age sensibilities."
—Reed Farrel Coleman, New York Times best-selling author of Walking the Perfect Square
"Like a cool, hip, and fun evening at a vintage drive-in, Black Lotus 2: The Vow takes me back to a time when Jim Kelly, Pam Grier, and Fred Williamson graced the big screen. Throw in some Bruce Lee and a little The Last Dragon and you have a hell of a butt-kicking, action-filled ride."
—Ace Atkins, New York Times best-selling author of The Shameless
"Black Lotus 2: The Vow is a thrilling roller-coaster ride of a mystery that kept me on the edge of my seat!"
—Bernice L. McFadden, author of The Book of Harlan
It's been months since Kahllah El-Amin, aka the Black Lotus, hung up her pistols, retired from the murder-for-hire business, and finally found peace. But when a police officer is murdered and a familiar flower is left at the crime scene, all signs point to it being the work of the Black Lotus. Someone is trying to frame her. Things get more complicated when the case is handed to Detective James Wolf, a former adversary who has since become a friend.
To clear her name, Kahllah is forced out of retirement and once again must don the mask of the Black Lotus. She races against time to catch the real killer while trying to outrun her most formidable rival. Their deadly game leads to a shocking truth buried under a mountain of lies, as Kahllah attempts to find justice in a world devoid of light.

September 14, 2020
Set in New York City, K’wan’s swaggering sequel to 2014’s Black Lotus finds the eponymous assassin—real name Kahllah El-Amin—retired from vengeance-for-hire and effecting justice through journalism at the magazine she runs with her best friend, Audrey. Kahllah endeavors to ignore the coded contact requests that keep appearing in the Village Voice classifieds; she has no interest in renewing her association with the Brotherhood of Blood. But when someone frames Black Lotus for the murder of crooked cop Francis Cobb, Kahllah realizes she has no choice but to unpack her blades, re-don her mask, and track down Cobb’s true killer. Not only is her honor at stake but one of the NYPD’s finest—hard-nosed detective James Wolf—is hot on her trail. Readers new to the series may initially find themselves scrambling to suss out Kahllah and James’s respective backstories, but on the whole, K’wan delivers a lean, tightly plotted tale that balances noir aesthetics with comic book flair. Fans of pulp and urban lit will be well satisfied.
