About
Before you, a story of urban love, criminal genius, unbridled ambition and the ruthless pursuit of power, with a cast of characters one will not easily forget. Omar Grey, a child raised into a dope infested, impoverished environment, but determined by any means necessary to lift himself and his family from the muck and mire in which they live. Funky Slim, a Shakespearian, Edgar Allan Poe, Kipling quoting dope fiend, who would find in the fertile mind of young Omar a child with a rapacious appetite for learning and a near photographic mind. Mitch, Omar's uncle, the breadwinner in Omar's drug dealing family and the only father and role model he has ever known. Mary, the bi-racial beauty who at the tender age of fourteen, with the body of a woman, but the mind of a child, finds the easy money and allure of prostitution a temptation she cannot resist. Insightful social commentary, Machiavellian twist, heartbreaks and betrayal.... "Last of a Dying Breed" has it all.
