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 slaughtering his crew. The Man wants Hardman to find out who it is. So do two Atlanta cops who are desperate to stop a bloodbath on the streets. But Hardman wants nothing to do with it. Taking sides in a war he doesn't want to fight could get him killed. The problem is, The Man isn't taking no for answer. Hardman will be dead man either way... so he decides he might as well earn a buck on his way to the grave.

"One of the best crime novel series ever written. This is straight-up, hardboiled crime fiction, written in a tight, evocative voice with a wicked, dark sense of humor. It's wonderful!" Lee Goldberg, #1 New York Times bestselling author
"Ralph Dennis has mastered the genre and supplied top entertainment." The New York Times
This new edition includes an afterword by David H. Everson, a political science professor and a two time Shamus Award nominated author
