“Each [voice] rings with street cred . . . Diamond has created one of urban fiction’s few works that feature female gangs.”—Library Journal

The most ruthless ride-or-die women of Memphis saved their empire by nearly destroying the streets. But as unexpected new rivals rise and brutal secrets shatter lives, betrayal means winner rules all . . .

Putting out chaos with gasoline is one play that even the women of the Dirty South can’t control. One merciless kill vaults good-girl-gone-bad Ta’Shara into gangland’s power elite—but an enemy she doesn’t see is targeting everything she can’t afford to lose. For former Vice Lord chief Lucifer, taking back her power means all-out war on her lethal lover, no matter what the cost. Gorgeous Cleo at last has her sister’s killer in her sights—if she can survive one deadly game too many. And as Queen G LeShelle’s lies finally choke-hold her life, trusting someone more vicious than her husband Python may be the last mistake she’ll ever make. Now these king divas will leave nothing standing—because if they can’t reign, no one will . . .
