Description
Book 1 in the Crescent Crew series
They risked it all for the love of the dough, then wrote chart-topping songs about it. But can this crew escape their past?
For Reece and Qwess, being rap superstars was the dream, but in real life nothing moved without the money. So they formed the Crescent Crew, an outfit of young, ruthless hustlers that locked the Southern drug trade in a stranglehold. They're at the height of their power when Qwess is offered a record deal from a major label. He accepts and makes plans for his whole crew to go legit, but Reece enjoys his position as king of the streets and has no desire to relinquish his crown. As a rift in the crew grows, Qwess is busy gliding up the charts and Reece expands Crescent Crew's powerful reach into new territory. Then tragedy strikes close to home and Qwess is pulled back into the streets he desperately fought to escape. Will he fall victim to the trap, or will he become a superstar of rap?

Former gang member Qwess is offered a multimillion-dollar deal with an up-and-coming rap label to foster new talent and create his own albums. He wants his longtime friend and fellow Crescent Crew member, Reece, to sign on for this legitimate career, but Reece declines; his plan is to to be street king of the East Coast by overcoming all other drug-selling crews, whatever the cost. When Qwess' girlfriend is murdered while driving Reece's car, Reece exacts brutal vengeance. When Qwess returns from an international tour with Flame, a rising star, Reece is living in a mansion while helping Section 8 housing tenants, running legitimate businesses, and continuing to kill off adversaries. Reece's girlfriend, Destiny, is around too often for Qwess' comfort, while Reece, who thinks he has a lock on life, discovers that he has been trusting the wrong people. Suspenseful and twisting, Sinclair's engrossing story of two friends on opposite paths through life may appeal to fans of Eric Jerome Dickey. Watch for future titles from Sinclair in the Crescent Crew series.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)
