For a black girl lost, murder was always in the cards. . . <p/> Goines's narratives offer a painfully vivid account of the black underworld, where Cadillacs, crooked cops and dilapidated buildings abound and whores, corner hustlers, pushers and thieves thrive. --<i>New York Times</i><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Donald Goines</b> was born in Detroit, Michigan.
