Soulless Goon

Nearly nine years deep into a life bid, the name "Nightmare," still rings bells in the trenches of Chi-Raq. Once the most feared crime lord in the city, now he sits behind bars. But word is, his convictions might get tossed. Smelling blood in the water, Nightmare moves quickly and taps a cold-blooded shark in heels-Jettica "ReeRee" Jackson-a slick-tongued defense attorney with ties to the block and a rep for getting real ones out the system.
As ReeRee digs into Nightmare's case, business turns personal. Lines blur. Emotions get messy. But love in the game?! That's a setup. Especially when old demons resurface-like Ricky "Chief Ricky" Isaacs-Nightmare's ex-Day One, who turns into a full-blown opp. Will Ricky take what once belonged to Nightmare? Or will face the type of resistance he could have never imagined?
From behind bars, Nightmare pulls strings like a master puppeteer, flipping soldiers, buying silence, and burying secrets. The streets run red as bodies drop and loyalty gets left in the dirt.

THIS AIN'T JUST A COMEBACK! IT'S A COLD WAR! And only the realest will survive the wreckage.
