Alibi- Book Review

Two men think they've found the perfect opportunity--a chance to rob the stash house of Simon Shuller, one of Philadelphia's biggest drug lords. But their plans are spoiled when one of Shuller's men catches them as they break into the stash house. Temperatures flare as the men capture Shuller's worker, Poncho, and force him to show them the goods. What they didn't expect was for Poncho's partner to be armed and very dangerous. An altercation breaks out and when the smoke clears, Nard, Poncho's accomplice, is the only one left standing. Thinking quickly, Nard cleans shop and makes his escape, but not before being spotted by a few neighbors. Not wanting to kill anyone else, he makes a mad dash for the streets but wonders if the witnesses will give up his identity. What he needs now is a plausible alibi. If he doesn't come up with one fast, it could mean life in prison, or death on the streets.(goodreads.com)

This story takes place in 1986. It was an okay story. Daisy is trying to make a fresh start and she also makes some bad choices. There is also mention of check fraud and trying to get a drug lord off the street. There is alot of Black language and Culture in this book.

There is reading group guide in the back of the book to help understand the characters and their actions. There was also Point of Views from the FBI/Cops along with Daisy and also the Nard. It was nice to be able to see what the characters were really thinking at times.

Liked the story okay but give this 3 out 5 stars.
