"Streets Of New York Volume 1" takes readers into the turbulent lives of Promise, Squeeze, Show, and Pooh, four young men from the rough-and-tumble streets of Brook-nam. Big, brash, and bold, the four are modern-day gangstas who take the law into their own hands, helping to rid the 'hood of derelicts by jacking drug dealers, pimps, and prostitutes. Getting rid of the trash has honed their skills in the urban sports of robbery, jooksing, and jacking, and the gang is good at what they do. But is cleaning up the neighborhood what it's really all about, or have they begun to enjoy the thrill of the hunt just a little too much? When is enough, enough? A true coming-of-age urbanthology, these funny and exciting stories land the reader deep in Gotham's gritty underbelly.

A powerful kingpin seeks revenge against three men who murdered his best friend and lieutenant in this gangster tale. Chaos, Priest, and Carlos had unknowingly entered the house of the lieutenant and after forcing themselves upon his daughter, killed him. Abandoning his credo, "business never personal," the Piano Man sets out to destroy these childhood friends who make a living robbing drug dealers and selling their bounty through their own pipelines. He is determined to get rid of this trio and will use any means-- no matter how ruthless-- to find them. Employing all of his considerable resources and underworld connections, the Piano Man manages to root the boys out and set them up. Unfortunately pay-back also calls for further destruction of friends and their children, and even his wife' s younger brother isn't exempt.
