About this ebook
The author of Got returns with another suspenseful work of “gritty street noir” (Publishers Weekly).
“There’s a new player stepping into the street-lit spotlight, and he’s one to watch. . . . Urban libraries have to get Got.” —Library Journal, on D’s debut novel Got
It’s less than six months after the events of D’s first novel, Got, and our nameless narrator has vanished off the Brooklyn grid, only to end up in Atlanta.
He’s enrolled in college, trying to live a normal life and escape the memories of his past in New York. Yet trouble is shadowing him, and he is about to be forced to make a life-or-death decision . . .

Incredible book. It really explodes through you. Like Capote or Nabakov I didn't even realize that I was reading while going through the story.
