August 1st

Keith Dennis was at the top of his game. He was accepted into law school and just received a job offer at a prestigious law firm. Keith used to pray about his future, but now that everything is going like he planned it, he sees no need to spend quality time with God any longer. Keith called from long distance to share the good news of his achievements with his father, Wade, who is a police officer. During their conversation, Wade was shot and left for dead. There was no trace of a motive. Patricia Glover had it all. She was Keith Dennis s girlfriend, and she was envied by many. Keith was not only handsome, but he was on the fast track to success. Patricia lived a privileged life. Money was never an issue and still wasn t even after her kidnapping. August First Lord, son of Storm Lord, the founder of the notorious South Central Los Angeles Gang, was privileged too, but only in the confines of twenty square blocks, and now he has become one of America s most wanted. In a mysterious way, two privileged people from the opposite spectrum meet. Patricia s survival is dependent on the compassion of a sought-after criminal.
