SynopsisIn the hood, a snitch is the worst thing a person can possibly be. Rolling over on your best friend, who has been with you through thick and thin, hungry and full, freedom and state bids--that's '"the cruelest lie told in silence.'" In this tale that plucks the innermost chords of emotion, jealousy turns to envy then to backstabbing as we observe two friends who have struggled together, hustled together, and endured separate prison terms. While Jevon experiences the fruits of the hustle during his partner's first stint, Bilal humbly does his time like a true soldier, taking a manslaughter charge for his '"brother." Will their friendship survive the broken bond of brotherhood, or will dishonor come before death? Jason Poole was born and raised in Washington, D.C., and is the proud father of a teenage son. He's also Essence magazine bestselling author of Larceny , and co-author of the ground-breaking book Convict's Candy . He wrote both novels while serving time in prison. In 1996, he was incarcerated on a drug violation charge and served a ten-year illegal sentence, due to an erroneous enhancement. In January 2007, he was released from federal prison, and has regained his freedom., LARCENY is often referenced as the go-to piece of literature for those wishing to understand the social mores existent within gang culture. Although the deadly consequences of social division along gang lines is known, what is often little understood is the brotherhood and companionship that is shared between men belonging to the same gang when the times are good. In cities where economic destitution is rife, gangs - and the perceived sense of justice that comes from avenging inter-gang struggles - provides a lost sense of purpose to the lives of poor, young men.
