Nature of the Shadow Patrick C Pearson

This is not just another urban fiction novel. It's based on the moral struggles of a small group of up and coming professionals brought together in an effort to untangle a web of deceit and injustice spun by a corrupt police task force leader. The very same legal system charged with protecting the public is being wielded against them for personal profit and domination. When the masses fail to dethrone a local drug tsar, one man steps forward to champion the people's call for justice. Join Akil and his band of modern day-heroes as they battle crime and corruption from prison to the governor's mansion. You will marvel at the lengths that those in power will go in order to protect their ill-gotten wealth and the secrets that bind them. During their journey, Akil and his friends risk everything for justice and discover the depths of each other's loyalty and friendship. Friendship, loyalty, love, and family are just a few of the matters with which Akil and his friends must contend. Akil seeks an anchor in turbulent times, and in the process, he regains the love and respect of his family, but before he can relish it, he will be forced to put his life on the line to save them. Torn between vengeance and virtue, his truest test is whether he will master his own nature or be consumed by the darkness within.
