Description
From an indigent Harlem home, to Vassar College drop out, from star police detective, to jobless drug addict, beautiful, brilliant Lotus Williams lost everything when her young daughter died of cancer. In a haze of dope she spent her time in her pajamas, prone on her couch, drinking beer, and in confusing contemplation about who she really was. She never felt she fit in anywhere. The feeling became stronger than ever. Given a second chance in a new Police Department, Lotus immediately finds herself in a violent, bloody turf war of rival drug gangs. She slowly realizes she is the central pawn in a bewildering game where nothing seems to make any sense. It is in this life and death battle that her questions are answered, her truth revealed. The question remains - will she survive. Black Lotus is film noir in a book. It's a mystery whose denouement will leave you breathless. Between feuding gangs, police and politicians, old friends and new allies, Lotus is caught in a hide-and-seek web of lies where strength is law and the currency, blood. Treasure Chest Press and author Lita Lepie present Black Lotus. A read you won't soon forget. Guaranteed."
