About This Book
When Teddy Anderson's little sister, Tina, is gunned down in a drive by shooting, the gang members who rule the streets in the Anderson family's rapidly deteriorating neighborhood dismiss the incident as just another case of RP, RT-- wrong place,wrong time. According to gangsta logic, Tina is just a casualty in a never ending city street war. But while the Anderson family mourns, Teddy plots revenge.
