The 11th adventure in the ground-breaking Hardman series

The Man, the "Black Godfather" of Atlanta, controls most of the crime in the city... but now someone wants to take it all away from him...by putting a bullet in his head and killing his crew. The Man wants Hardman to find out who it is. So do two Atlanta cops who want to stop a bloodbath on the streets. But Hardman wants nothing to with it.

It's wonderful!" Lee Goldberg, #1 New York Times bestselling author of True Fiction
