Quentin Carter has done his thing again. Here is another book that captures your attention from the first page to the end. Ramon is a 40 year old man that had his youth snatched away when he went to jail for a murder that he committed. When he gets out of jail for serving a 15 year bid he hooks back up with his old crew for a big hit that will put him and his crew on the map. They will be finacially set. But Ramon has other plans. He wants to live out his youthfullness through a hood rat, sack chasing, money hungry broad name Jayde. Jayde has her own motives and it will all be re-veiled throughtout the story. Can Ramon come out on top or will Jayde be the cause of his downfall. I recommend you pick up your copy to find out, I guarenteed you will not be disappointed.

This review is from: Amongst Thieves (Triple Crown Publications Presents) (Paperback)

15 years behind bars for the cost of a loved one's brother mistake, Ramon returns home only to find hisself drawn back into the brink of crime with his old crew, who are 5 loyal friends and thieves. Taking small time to big time, Ramon and his crew put Kansas City back on the map. Ramon moves to the top of the illegitimate world and his taste for power and greed increase, of course King Ramon can't move without being checked by two queens, Yawni a 38 year old, hard core diva and friend, who have her bet on becoming wifey, and Jayde an eye candy for Ramon's soul, but a hurt for his heart and pockets, and a plan of her own. They say more money bring more problems, and Secret alliances, shady politicians, the law of police who's hot on their trail, and of course his crew of thieves conspire to bring about his demise.

Friendship, loyalty, and trust is what these thieves graduated from to the dark path of betrayal and murder. Is it worth the cost??? You have to take a lesson amongst thieves to find out.

Amongst Thieves shows the author side of a great story telling novel. The characters come out vividly strong, but sometimes I felt this story started to drag in the middle of the book and then picks back up with the drama, murder, shock, betrayal, action, crime, and violence, it's all here rolled up in one, and I would definately say this book is worth reading and worth putting on that top collection of heart pounding novels.

This review is from: Amongst Thieves (Triple Crown Publications Presents) (Paperback)

Ramon, Ramon, Ramon...what a character. Amongst Thieves is a book that keeps you wanting to know what will happen next. This book has you wanting and craving to know if they were going to get out of these situations and wanting to know who was going to end up with whom.

If you never believed in the scripture "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Provervs 22:6 Trishay Delay will make you start believing again.

This is a must read. I read this book over the weekend. Once you pick this book up you will NOT be able to put it down.

I have to say this again this is a must read.... Quentin Carter keep doing what you do. This book was wonderful it's an attention getter. I never lost track. I can not say this enough this book is a great read. If you have not yet gotten this book you need to get it fast.

Thank you very much Triple Crown publications.
