Produktbeschreibung
Elijah "Li'l Nine" Hassahn born into the gritty environs of South Central Los Angeles in the late 1970s, is ripe to be molded by the first generation of the Crip movement. As a product of the first family of the Rollin 90s Neighborhood Crips, Elijah is forced to adapt to circumstances beyond his control. Shaped by poverty and pain, Elijah takes lessons of survival from his street-savvy uncles, Big 9-Lives and Cannon, and navigates the school of hard knocks to the upper echelon of the Los Angeles underworld, where murder is currency and trauma a constant companion. Elise Cortez, beautiful, fearless, and deadly, is making her own mark in the L.A. underworld. In her ongoing mission to take back everything she feels was taken from her and quench her burning rage, her world collides with Elijah's to form an unholy alliance created by fate and vengeance. The City of Lost Angels wraps all in its wicked embrace. Will Elijah succumb to his fate in the streets, or will his choices crush the innocence he once knew and threaten his humanity?
Autorenporträt
Toni T-Shakir, author and co-CEO of Shakir Publishing, is a Jamaican native who grew up in the Bay Area of Northern California, subsequently migrating to Los Angeles. She is an avid reader who acquired the love for writing at a young age. Shakir Publishing is the culmination of Toni's dream of bringing awareness to critical stories throughout the world and being a voice for those who are often unheard. She has recently ventured into the film industry as a producer on the film adaptation of Land Of No Pity, written and directed by her stepson, Asim Jamal Shakir Jr. The film is slated to become a tv series in 2021. Toni's debut novel, Land Of No Pity, introduced the world to her ground-breaking style of storytelling, that entrenched the mainstream into the gritty gang culture of South Central Los Angeles in a qualitative and poignant way. Her follow-up sequel, Land Of No Pity II: The Lost Generation, is the long awaited continuation of the saga readers have been highly anticipating.
