You gotta love her!” –Chunichi, the Urban Diva, author of the Gangster’s Girl series Bilal Cunningham has grown up in Richmond, Virginia’s meanest projects. His mother offers him little love but takes whatever cash Bilal can make to feed her alcohol-fueled life and the men she shares her bed with. Instead of drugs and drink, Bilal devours Shakespeare, Langston Hughes, and the works of other poets, which he can recite verbatim. But when his beloved little brother, Keon, is killed in a shoot-out, Bilal’s straitlaced life goes awry. Vengeance lands Bilal in jail for seven years, and when he comes out he’s drawn to the streets. By becoming Richmond’s top cocaine kingpin, Bilal has all the money he could ever want, though he knows to steer clear of the powder himself. But sexy Starr, the girl he’s loved since childhood, can’t quite keep clean. Their tumultuous relationship gets even rockier when Starr involves herself with the men who may have been responsible for Keon’s death. As friends and foes alike drop dead in the fallout, a shocking truth is revealed, and Bilal’s last shred of innocence may be lost forever. 3290931 20 5 2008 Gorilla Black: A Novel total:17|5:7|4:3|3:2|2:3|1:2| 17 61 27 2 1 0 false false Fri Jan 16 07:33:16 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 16 07:34:12 -0800 2009 2 0 false false Tue Mar 24 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 09 17:05:11 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 06 18:30:08 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Nov 01 19:53:44 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 01 19:53:44 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Mon Oct 26 11:12:03 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 26 11:12:03 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Oct 26 00:52:38 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 26 00:52:51 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Oct 05 12:43:17 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 05 12:43:17 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Sep 16 05:55:33 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 16 05:55:33 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Tue Sep 15 06:21:01 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 15 06:21:01 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Sep 10 19:09:28 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 10 19:09:28 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Sep 06 10:41:54 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 06 10:41:54 -0700 2009 1 0 false false Sat Jun 13 13:02:20 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 13 13:02:20 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat Jul 25 22:18:22 -0700 2009 Thu May 21 02:54:10 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 25 22:18:22 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon May 18 04:13:06 -0700 2009 Mon May 18 04:13:06 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon May 11 15:29:19 -0700 2009 Mon May 11 15:29:19 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Apr 21 18:39:25 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 21 18:39:25 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Tue Mar 24 07:53:53 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 24 07:53:58 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Dec 29 14:13:59 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 29 14:21:15 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sat Dec 13 14:12:48 -0800 2008 Sat Dec 13 14:12:50 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Tue Nov 11 09:31:16 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 09 18:17:15 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Oct 27 09:58:01 -0700 2008 Mon Oct 27 09:58:03 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=3255723
