Best Elmore Leonard

Jamal Carter was down on his luck. Broke, in debt, and on the verge of eviction, he needed a break. That's when his friend Deion offered him a ticket to an exclusive networking event. Little did Jamal know, this was just the beginning of a wild ride. He impressed the right people, including real estate mogul Leonard Marks, and soon found himself playing with the big boys. But success comes with a price. Jamal's rise to power attracted some dangerous enemies, including ruthless crime boss Vincent Morello. A silent war began, with sabotage, intimidation, and power moves being played out behind the scenes. Jamal refused to back down. He formed alliances, studied his enemies, and struck back with calculated moves. But just when he thought he'd won, he discovered a shocking truth: Morello was just a pawn in a much bigger game. The real power players were the Scorpion Syndicate, a shadowy organization that controlled the city's underworld. And Jamal had just inherited Morello's debts, including a $10 million payment owed to the Scorpions. With his back against the wall, Jamal was forced to make an impossible choice: sign with the Scorpions and submit to their control, or refuse and risk losing everything. But here's the twist: Deion, Jamal's best friend, had been working with the Scorpions all along. He'd orchestrated Jamal's rise to power, ensuring he was always one step ahead. Now, Jamal's fate hangs in the balance. Will he take the safe route and sign with the Scorpions, or will he risk everything to stay true to himself? The hustler's gamble has led him to this moment. But this time, the stakes are higher than ever.

For three years, Dante endured hell as the despised son-in-law—while secretly operating as the Phantom, the UNDERWORLD KING who bent nations to his will. He only stayed because he owed her dead father everything. But Leonard Hayes left behind more than gratitude. He left the Archive—the only weapon powerful enough to rule, control and destroy the world. Only Dante can access it. Yet all the underworld criminals want it. Now four armies hunt him. The city offers millions of dollars just for his head. His ex-wife won't let him off the hook, constantly planning to murder his wife even though she's her half-sister. And The Architects—a secret society controlling world events for decades—want him dead or enslaved. Multiple strong enemies and one egoistic king that will never back down. The Phantom is done hiding. When he accesses the Archive, one choice remains: Save humanity—or rule it. ___________ In a world where everyone wants you dead, trust no one. Not even yourself.
