Carl Weber's Kingpins: Philadelphia
Giới thiệu về sách điện tử này
Dontay had it rough growing up in the projects with a mother who forced him to become a man at the young age of fifteen. His father was a rolling stone, having multiple children with many women. He always fought for his father’s attention, until taking his spot became more important than gaining his love. Now Dontay is the leader of one of the most successful and most feared drug organizations in the city of Philadelphia. From the outside looking in, he appears to have it all—tons of money, respect, and women falling at his feet—but it all comes with a hefty price.
He meets Desire, a biracial beauty, and instantly vows to make her his queen. Unfortunately, trouble is lurking, and Desire may not be the woman she claims to be. A war ensues with a rival drug gang, and Dontay reigns supreme, but he begins to lose the tight grip that he has on his organization as he struggles to find the person responsible for leaking details of his activities to the feds.
With jealousy, envy, and revenge as motives, one of his most trusted understudies moves forward with a plan of takeover that quickly leaves Dontay without the things that he’s worked his whole life to attain. In this fast-paced tale of deceit, nothing is what it seems, and Dontay learns that even his own family can’t be trusted.
Filled with drama, lies, sex, and police corruption, Carl Weber’s Kingpins: Philadelphia makes it clear that even for a kingpin, more money means more problems.

Giới thiệu tác giả
Author extraordinaire Brittani Williams began her foray into writing by happenstance when she was required to pen a play as an assignment. It was then that Brittani discovered her unbound imagination, creativity and the escapism rooted in great literature. After much encouragement from family, friends, and co-workers alike, Brittani's hobby be-came a profession in 2005 when she completed her first manuscript titled Automatic Princess, (later renamed Daddy's Little Girl). Within four months of her completed manuscript, Brittani was signed to a two-book deal with Q-boro Books. In 2007, at the youthful age of 24, Brittani released her first book entitled Daddy's Little Girl. The release was highly successful and received positive reader reviews from across the globe; making Daddy's Little Girl Brittani's bestselling book to date. Later that year she contributed to two anthology projects, Fantasy (Urban Life-style Press) and Flexin' & Sexin' (Life Changing Books), alongside some of the best authors in the industry. With the release of her sophomore novel, Sugar Walls, Brittani had four projects in circulation, all released in the same year.In June 2008, Brittani released The Cathouse, a novel co-written with Anna J and Laurinda D. Brown. The following December, her third novel, Black Diamond, was released by Urban Books. Two short years later in 2010, the sequel, Black Diamond 2: Nicety was released. To broaden her horizons beyond exclusively writing novels, Brittani made her directorial debut in June 2010 with the stage play adaptation of one of her bestselling novels, Black Diamond. In addition to directing, Brittani also wrote and produced Black Diamond the stage play, which successfully debuted to a sold out crowd of over 700 on its opening night. On the heels of her successful stage play, Brittani signed a three-book deal with her publisher, Urban Books, for Cover Girl, Black Diamond 3, and Hell on Heels. Brittani also wrote book for hip hop artists and reality stars Jamal Green, know as Mazaradi Fox, Girl Code with Hazel E, and No Excuses by Dreux "Lil Fizz" Frédéric.
