Dirty Work: Playing the Game (Paperback)

Hustler Salmon Graves has been forced to deal drugs for two crooked cops. Detectives Robert "Lefty" O'Malley and Tom Grey, "the twins," now own Sal. Even though Sal didn't want to deal with the twins, he has no choice now. It's either that or go to jail. To him, it's a win-win situation: the work comes cheap, and he can get rid of his competition anytime he wants. But if anyone in the hood finds out, Sal's life will be in danger.

When the serious money starts rolling in, so do the robberies, hate, and killings. There's infighting among Sal's crew, and they eventually split. Some don't know where their loyalties lie, which brings even more confusion. The whole situation gets increasingly dirty until even the best of friends start doing whatever they feel is necessary to protect themselves. But the real problems come once the feds enter the picture.

Facing lengthy jail time changes everyone-the dealers start to turn on one another, but they may soon learn that they only have each other to fall back on .
