Dirty South

What if you had only twenty-four hours to save the life of a friend? The imminent murder of a former teammate-a player in the violence-prone, big money game of Big Easy rap music-is pulling ex-New Orleans Saints footballer-turned-blues historian Nick Travers into a world of fur-lined Bentleys and Cristal champagne. This is an unfamiliar New South-dirtier, deadlier, more vicious, where a music empire can fall in a sudden, bloody rain of bullets. And with the lives of a mogul and an angry teenage hip-hop prodigy at stake, Nick needs to put himself in the crossfire to find a missing $700,000 and a killer who's coming too close.Atkins, Ace is the author of 'Dirty South', published 2005 under ISBN 9780060004637 and ISBN 0060004630.
