Carl Weber's Kingpins

Carl Weber presents the second installment of an eight book series, Kingpin. Carl Weber brings the best of Urban street lit authors together, each telling their own dramatic tale of life in the streets in known cities across the USA. The second installment continues with Treasure Hernandez telling the tale of the Dirty South.

The Kingpins of Oklahoma City, one from the north side and one from the south side, push pounds of weed, gallons of PCP, and kilos of cocaine through the corridors of the OKC, using very different methods to keep their people in line. King is the leader of the north side crew. Along with his protégé, Tippi, he runs his crew with deadly force. Each member knows there is no room for error when it comes to getting money on the north side. Flamboyant, the leader of the south side crew, is the opposite. His crew is tight out of loyalty, not fear. King and Flamboyant know nothing of each other, especially the fact that they are both doing business with the same connect. The money is good for all involved, and it's a win-win situation for Charli and Toni, the suppliers. They keep the reins tight on both leaders, because a war on the streets would be detrimental to their thriving business in Oklahoma City. Everything goes awry when Flamboyant's woman, Shayla, becomes torn between her current man and the one who used to rule her universe-King. Once the lines are crossed, there's no going back, and the war that Charli and Toni are trying to avoid becomes a reality. A love triangle fueled by two men who would gladly give their lives for the woman they love is causing death at an alarming rate. Is Shayla worth losing what these two men have built? In the end, which kingpin of Oklahoma City will remain standing?

When a kingpin is betrayed by his friend, the whole city will turn upside down as they go head-to-head. When he was young, Curtis Griffin, a.k.a. Cane, formed a clique called the CMB. As a young boy, Curtis Griffin, a.k.a. Cane, had street knowledge beyond his years, gained from his family-some of the biggest drug dealers in the area. While most adolescents were playing Nintendo, Cane was hanging with big-time hustlers, earning his way and making his keep. When Cane forms a clique called the CMB, his best friend Travis, a.k.a. Trapp, joins him. They are getting money, women, and notoriety, until jealousy gets in the way. Trapp betrays the clique and joins forces with their archrivals from the west side: the Poison Clan. They become the Jack Boys, robbing everyone who crosses their path by any means necessary. Once best friends and now members of rival gangs, Cane and Trapp's conflict will create chaos in the streets of Greenville.
