Rollin with the Hot Sauce Walter Ray

Publisher Marketing: Rollin' is the story of a crime syndicate operating from Kansas City's gritty urban core. It's a realistic portrayal of the crime, drugs and violence that has swept down like a plague on the urban areas of many American cities. The language is raw, the dialog honest. Rollin' With The Hot Sauce reveals the fictionalized character types that were brought to life and made all too real through the B. E. T. television series American Gangster, and the movie of the same name starring Denzel Washington. The story opens at the Byron Hotel, widely known and recognized as the headquarters for TC and his gang of criminals that the local press has labeled The Black Mafia. TC is a mastermind of the wrong kind. He and his closest associate Rufus, have formed an organization that's taken over the neighborhood. He says his hold card is fear and the east side is scare to death. The book takes the reader to the streets and shows with shocking detail the mayhem that crime wrecks on a community and the madness in the minds of those who choose to play the street life. Meanwhile Jamal, aka, Preston Robinson, transforms himself from notorious gangster and known killer into would-be revolutionary. He thinks the police have killed one too many innocent black men and he decides it's time to get even. TC's syndicate makes strategic connections with organizations and black gangsters in Chicago, Detroit, St Louis, and Omaha with aspirations of heading a nationwide crime syndicate headquartered in KC. All the while Jamal and his band of revolutionaries are virtually unnoticed and overlooked until members of the LAPD start coming up dead. The old saying of the chickens coming home to roost is a fitting description of the books final few scenes. Rollin' With The Hot Sauce deals with issues both real and imagined of police brutality, race, violence and crime in an uncompromising fashion. It fills in the blanks between the nightly newscast, the Hollywood version of events and the real life tragedies that play out daily on city streets from sea to shinning sea.
