Organized Gangsters

Martin Holloway is a man who puts nothing before his family except God; he's a man who the streets have dubbed "Mr. Untouchable." The Holloways represent one of the five families of organized gangsters that make up "The Council." Together, they control more than seventy percent of the drugs that come through Durham, North Carolina-also known as "Bull City" or the "City of Medicine."

Huey Holloway, also known as "Hush," is eighteen with a promising future thanks to his good grades and his family's many connections. The Holloways are the upper echelon. But despite his endless opportunities, Hush's dreams are shattered when he decides to help his two best friends, Tony and A.J. One bad decision led to two dead bodies, and he vows never to join the family business before he's ushered off to the army.

Seven years later, the man reporters dubbed "The Prodigal Son" returns after his father, Mr. Untouchable, is gunned down in broad daylight. Hush learns quickly that his time away has turned friends and even close family into mere strangers.
Malcolm, his older brother, and the new head of the family is drunk off power with a temper that's raising the murder rate; Tony is a hotshot detective who makes it clear his badge trumps friendships; and A.J. is deep in the streets and possibly breaking bread with Hush's enemies.

Who can he trust?

With death heavy in the air, Hush falls in love with a beautiful reporter named Tyana Cox, who might have all the answers he's searching for. Their love is strong, but will it last after secrets and lies are discovered?

Through all his trials and tribulations, Hush learns that every family has secrets, every love story has lies, and you don't have to have the same last name to be family.

This is a game of chess, not checkers, and only organized gangsters will sacrifice it all!
