A story of black organized crime follows Prince from his beginning as a teenage ganglord to his position as head of Detroit's powerful mob.
Donald Goines byl jedním z nejplodnějších autorů pouliční literatury, jehož drsná a syrová díla zachycovala realitu života v amerických ghetech. Jeho romány, často zasazené do Detroitu, Los Angeles nebo New Yorku, pronikavě zkoumaly témata jako drog, zločinu a rasového napětí. Goines mistrně používal napínavý jazyk a rychlé tempo, aby vytvořil poutavé příběhy, které odrážely jeho vlastní zkušenosti. Prostřednictvím své tvorby, často psané pod pseudonymem Al C. Clark, nabídl vizi vnitřního města jako bojiště, kde postavy bojují o moc a přežití.
