Diamond District

The Diamond District, written with debut author Derrick Pledger, is about a diamond robbery that goes wrong.

D.J.''s got an Ivy League diploma, the sexiest girl in the city, and the five best friends a dude could want. What he doesn''t have is cash. When his boy, Dre, steals some ice from a thug after a fight, D.J. comes up with a get-rich-quick scheme worth thousands of dollars. But in this high-stakes game, you don''t lie, cheat, and steal without paying the price, and after staring down the barrel of a handgun, D.J. learns a life lesson that college didn''t teach him. Now which will he choose—the straight and narrow or the streets?
