One Block Two Block: A Novel

Boo Boo, Deon, Kobo, Nat, and Matrix grew up on the same three blocks of Shepherd Avenue in East New York, Brooklyn -- five kids who were closer than family. Twenty years later, Deon Walker wears an NYPD badge, and Marcus "Boo Boo" Coleman runs the most careful, most profitable drug operation the block has ever seen. When Deon's precinct hands him the case that could make his career -- take down Boo Boo's organization -- he doesn't tell them he grew up two doors from the target. What Deon finds when he starts pulling threads is worse than a corner crew: a hidden tunnel network in a triangle beneath the houses of Shepherd Avenue, moving product under the feet of the same families who raised them both. And once Deon knows about the tunnels, he has a choice his captain never has to make -- report it and burn the case, or sit on the biggest secret of his career to protect the boy who used to be his brother. One Block Two Block is Book One in a series about loyalty, the price of the badge, and how far two men will go before only one of them is left standing on the block that made them both.
