Summary
Toussaint Batiste is returning home to the City of Brotherly Love hoping he can, for once in his life, outrun his nickname: Trouble. Toussaint has been in prison, but before that he was a Philadelphia police officer. He’s returning home with few friends on either side of the law, but with a little apartment in Chinatown and a vested interest in taking care of the family restaurant downstairs, he expects to have enough to keep himself busy.
But as ever, trouble has other ideas.

What They're Saying
Critics Review
“To say the least, there’s a whole lot of page-turning stuff packed in this latest thriller from K’wan, who in addition to an aptitude for orchestrating and propelling action sequences, displays a knack for colorfully droll dialogue and antic set pieces bordering on the surreal. He seems to be channeling Elmore Leonard, Walter Mosley, and Chester Himes in one rollicking stream. The guess is that we’ll be seeing more ‘Trouble’ in the future, which is a good thing.”–Kirkus Reviews, on Troubleman

“Fans expecting another thug-in-the-street story will be pleasantly surprised.”–Library Journal, on Black Lotus
