Synopsis

Larry Jackson, better known as Daddy Cool, is a ruthlessly efficient black hit man, equally effective with a gun or a knife in nailing his prey. The only thing that can melt his icy heart is his love for his teenage daughter Janet. But when the smooth talking youngblood pimp Ronald lures her into his stable, Daddy Cool must go into action with a fearsome vengeance.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

"The voice of the ghetto itself." —The Village Voice
A bold action-packed street opera from Donald Goines, the godfather of urban lit. . .

To his clients, Larry Jackson is known as "Daddy Cool." Nobody's better at what he does. Nothing knocks him off his game. With ice in his veins, he'll pull the trigger or stick a knife deep. All that matters is he gets paid—and that his teenage daughter, Janet, stays clear of the streets. But when Janet is lured into the stable of a young, smooth-talking pimp, Daddy Cool sees red—and goes into action deadly cold and unstoppable. . .

"He lived by the code of the streets and his books vividly recreated the street jungle and its predators." —New Jersey Voice

Présentation de l'éditeur

Soon to be a major motion picture, this book - first in the ""Black Experience"" series - is a unique read/see experience. Goines has almost single-handedly created a new fictional genre that successfully expresses his gritty, true to life American thrillers. In Daddy Cool he presents a multifaceted, realistic fiction picture of the lives, choices and frustrations of underworld ghetto blacks. In this hellish wasteland Policemen shoot before asking questions and featureless faces are contorted by fear and hatred. Told with guts 'n' blood in Goine's rough and sticky way.
