Book one ended in the middle of the story and then they asked you if you wanted too buy the remaining story for a small fee. Just wanted other readers too know that this was the case with this novel.
This is a very detailed account of a drug dealer's life within the big apple. The daily transactions that occur with these drugs and the money that's generated is overwhelming to the normal individual. The sexual episodes are extremely explicit, bringing the reader too a state of arousal, that might offend the casual reader.
