Shetani's Sister (Vintage Crime/Black Lizard)

by Iceberg Slim

"In hard-hitting, street-smart prose, Shetani's sister relates the deadly duel between two complex men: LAPD vice cop Sergeant Russell Rucker, determined to clean up prostitution and police corruption while battling his own alcoholic demons; and Shetani (Swalihi for "Satan"), a master pimp who controls his stable of whores with calculated doses of vioence and smack. With the breakneck narrative pacing and storytelling genius that made Iceberg Slim one of the bestselling black writers in American literary history, cops and criminals careen toward a bloody and spectacular confrontation."--Provided by publisher.
