Series: Dog Food

Book 1

It’s a dog eat dog world, especially when all the dogs involved are hungry! For a sheltered mama’s boy like Demarcus, everything was all roses until a life-changing experience showed him that every rose has thorns. After a well-orchestrated set up, Demarcus's plans to go to college are derailed by a trip to state prison. It is while in the belly of the beast that the mama's boy has to make the choice between being a man or being a victim.

Upon his release, Demarcus tries to get his life back on track, but his felony conviction causes door after door to be slammed in his face. Going to college is no longer an option, and flipping burgers is not in his plans. With little other choice, Demarcus applies the lessons learned in prison and takes it to the streets. He gets caught up in the game of selling heroin, known on the streets as Dog Food.

When all hell breaks loose between the major dealers in Memphis over the city’s heroin distribution, Demarcus finds himself on the losing side of a bloody drug war. As he prepares for the showdown with his opposition, he begins to uncover truths about his past, including what happened that fateful night of his arrest. To add insult to injury, when he finally stands face to face with his enemy, he discovers that the face is a familiar one. They say that blood is thicker than water, but when it comes to cash, sometimes even those closest to you will try to do you in.

Running and hiding is looked upon as a way out for the weak. It is something Omar never thought he would do. As a child, he didn't even partake in the game of Hide and Seek for that very reason. Unfortunately, after being sentenced to death by his cousin, Demarcus, Omar is left with no choice.

Moving to Detroit isn't as bad as he thought it would be. It doesn't take long for him to reign supreme. However, the change of location doesn't change the conniving and cold-hearted monster that he is inside. It doesn't take the locals long to see the monster either. When his lies catch up to him and back him in a corner, he opts to take the easy way out and leave.

With Omar deciding to move back to Memphis after being off the radar for three years, he is now willing to play the game. He wants it to end with his cousin's murder, while he reclaims the throne he was kicked down from. But how many people will he be willing to kill to get back what he feels is rightfully his?

Demarcus's life takes a turn for the good. He has a relationship with his father, runs a large Dog Food distribution ring, and has a few legit businesses that are flourishing on the side. The sheltered mama's boy has turned into a man. Suddenly, the bodies start piling up, and he goes from being the most loved man in the city of Memphis to being the number one murder suspect in every case that crosses the homicide unit desk. His past is back to haunt him with a vengeance. What happens when the true murderer is someone he already knows to be dead?
