{"product_id":"9781940097251","title":"Reaper","description":"In the early 80's, gang activity was at a peak. Ronald was living the lifestyle to the utmost. The back room of his mother's house was off limits to the rest of his biological family. The room was a place for members of his other family, his organization. It is where they would discuss business, store their guns, bag up their drugs, smoke weed and talk about women. \u003cbr\u003eRonald's younger brother, Cornelius was born a wild child. He was fearless and had a dark heart. Ronald knew the only person Cornelius would ever love or respect was their mother and anyone else could get it. His violent actions indicated this to anyone he'd came across, ever since he was old enough to walk and talk. \u003cbr\u003eCornelius admired the comradery that his older brother Ronald and his associates shared. He was fascinated by all of the sex, drugs and money and wanted in. By eight years old, Cornelius was begging Ronald to allow him to join his gang, but his brother always refused. Ronald knew if Cornelius had a taste of this life, there would be no turning back for him. \u003cbr\u003eLiving in an area of Chicago where the community was just as much Hispanic as it was Black, Cornelius found his place. Embraced by a Hispanic organization, his loyalty and dedication crossed any and all racial boundaries. Along with that, he was naturally merciless, and brutal when it came to handling business for the organization, and his evilness knew no boundaries when it came to retribution and order. It was because of this ruthless mindset, Reaper was born.","brand":"Twenty-First Street Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47033946538224,"sku":"9781940097251","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781940097251_p0.jpg?v=1763666522","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781940097251","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
