Product Description
In the hood, a snitch is the worst thing a person could possibly be. Rolling over on your best friend who has been with you through thick and thin, hungry and full, freedom and state bids - that’s "the cruelest lie told in silence". In this tale that plucks the innermost chords of emotion, jealousy turns to envy then to backstabbing as we observe two friends that have struggled together, hustled together and endured separate prison terms. While Jevon experiences the fruits of the hustle during his partner’s first stint, Bilal humbly does his time like a true soldier after taking a manslaughter charge for his "brother". Will their friendship survive the broken bond of brotherhood, or will dishonor come before death?

Am I my brother's KEEPER, 2008-05-05
In the winter of '85 back in DC an unbreakable bond was formed between Bilal Davis and Jovan Price. At an early age Bilal was taking on grown man responsibilities. Too young to get a job he felt his only choice to survive as a youth was boosting and selling stolen goods to take care of him and his younger bother, Mal-Mal. He also found it his responsibility to do the time for Jovan's Crime.
While Bilal humbly does his time after taking the manslaughter chare, Jovan begins to step his game up moving more than the old boosted goods. Jovan feels responsible for Mal-Mal being without his older brother so he looks out for him. A tragic accident occurs to Mal-Mal and Jovan feels totally responsible. Jovan feels he owes Bilal his life sow when there back on the streets Jovan handles his business as an assassin and Bilal doesn't have to worry about a thang.
Together on the streets of DC and they are about to get involved with "the cruelest lie told in silence" without any consent and with intentions of permantantly depriving someone of their freedom. Find out will this bond survive or will death come before dishonor.
Minus the grammatically errors the story was overall a good read. The errors didn't take away from the story.

 So...So...So..., 2008-02-10
At first this book started off okay, but in some parts of the book seemed sort of confusing, because of the grammatical errors. When I got through half of the book I wanted to give it up, but I wanted to keep on reading it to see what's gonna happen between Bilal and Jovan. As for Sonya she's a ride or die "hood rat." Better yet, I'm happy that I finished the book some times through the book I was yawning losing contact with book....all in all great book....

The Game of Loyalty, 2007-07-19
This book skipped from first person to third person and sometimes mixed both in one paragraph...but it got interesting slowly but surely. Jovan was a master of disguise and a wickedly clever assassin. I kind of figured Bilal never forgave Jovan for the death of Mal-Mal but any and all beef was concealed as set-ups were dished out one by one. I felt that I never got to really know the Sonya character. She was one big mystery. Her past and secrets should have been disclosed in the beginning making her Jovan's Bonnie to his Clyde. That would have made for a better story to tell. The innocent love-struck and over-bearing character she portrayed didn't quite fit later developments. Overall, Larceny is worth a read.

 Snitching is for suckas!, 2007-06-02
Bilal takes a charge of manslaughter for his bestfriend aka brother Javon. Thinking he will hold him down out in the streets he keeps his mouth shut and does his time. In jail Bilal develops and changes alot. Once out of jail he learns that everybody aint your friend and the story truly begins. I dont want to tell it all but I will say I enjoyed reading this book. Yes it has errors and typos but it is to be expected when you get a Triple Crown novel. I would recommend this read to anyone want a good fast paced read.

 Terrible, 2007-01-03
I don't really read "hood" books, but one boring night at work I had nothing to read and this book was on the book shelf. What a total waste of time. The story is dumb and the legal stuff was totally unrealistic. It read like a teenager wrote it, grammatical errors and all. Definitely do not spend your money on this trash.
