Having grown up with nothing, the lure of the streets finally pulls Bum in – but as he begins selling drugs and making money, he struggles to overcome the hate, jealousy, and greed of his competitors...as the son of one of the biggest drug dealers in town, Lex is more than familiar with the ins and outs of the game – but that may just overshadow his efforts to go straight and pursue a career in professional football...a cold-blooded hit man, killing has always come naturally to Billy D – but his chosen profession eventually conflicts with his ultimate desire to heal his long-wounded heart...

Chronicling the lives of three young men caught up in a host of deadly circumstances, Ill Street Blues takes the reader deep into the trappings of modern day urban life. Bound by their impassioned pursuits of money, power, and respect, Bum, Lex, and Billy D are ultimately forced to reflect on the consequences of feeding the flesh vs. the spirit as they strive to secure better lives not only for themselves, but also for their loved ones. Set against the familiar backdrop of contemporary urban strife, author Joe Martin’s eye-opening tale of money, drugs, and murder relates a dramatic story of survival in the face of overwhelming adversity. A thought-provoking read.
