Money Grip

Rasheen Smith praised money as if it was his supreme being; he epitomized the madness that money can make most people embrace when he chose the way of the gun to make a living. But, Killer Kato, a far more ruthless force, was watching and had plans for this young urban cowboy. After Rasheen is firmly locked under Killer Kato’s wing, he is manipulated, played and made to go on suicide missions, closing down the drug houses of Killer’s drug rivals until he catches a bid. As if it couldn’t get any worse, Killer Kato rubs salt into Rasheen’s wounds when he not only leaves Rasheen for dead with a life bid, but also when he turns Lameek (Rasheen’s baby brother) into a world class rap-star and pimps him as though he is his personal prostitute. Once freed, Rasheen navigates through a journey of revenge, betrayal, get rich over night attempts, and plenty of shattered dreams. With an ending packed with intense dramatic irony, Money Grip guarantees its readers a page turning urban adventure from the very first sentence to the very last, a gripping tale that will remind all that money is not only the root of all evil, but is also the master of all motivators, including those drenched in good intentions.
