The Hundreds

Set in the Hundreds, a lawless enclave that operates like its own state, this urban novel traces how an outlaw society takes shape under the Conservative Vice Lords. Chief Timbo, a devoted senior member of the gang, reshapes its methods for earning money and standing on the streets. The story unfolds during the crack cocaine epidemic, when the Lords profit from every corner of the drug trade, from the dealers to the users who fall into its grip.

Rival street gangs compete for control of the territory, and the book moves through violent confrontations, shootouts, and cunning schemes. Betrayal, loyalty, and romantic love run alongside the bloodshed, and corrupt police officers add to the danger. Brutal killings and mutilations appear throughout the narrative.

At its core, the novel portrays a world where street justice answers to no moral code, offering little compassion or mercy, and where human life has little worth. Its survival rule is stark: kill or be killed.
