OMAR TYREE DOES IT AGAIN! The Philadelphia-born
author, who jumpstarted the urban fiction craze more than a
dozen years ago with Flyy Girl, presents the riveting
new tale of Shareef Crawford, a celebrated writer of
romantic fiction, who leaves his sunny mansion in South
Florida and returns to his Harlem roots to pen a true crime
book that may just end his life. Craving more respect for
his craft as a writer, particularly from his peer group of
urban men, Shareef allows an enticing female fan to pitch
him a no-holds-barred tell-all about an imprisoned Harlem
gangster who admires Shareef's writing. With insane courage
and an iron will, Shareef, the street-smart intellectual,
finally gets a chance to write something more edgy and
noteworthy. However, the Harlem streets he returns to in
2006 have changed, and the stakes of survival are higher now
than they've ever been. Amid the rise of high-priced
condominiums, a changing population, young criminals gunning
to make names for themselves, and old criminals fighting to
become legitimate businessmen, Shareef finds himself caught
in a real-life thriller where past foes become friends, and
trusted friends become dangerous foes. Nevertheless, the
Harlem legend is hell-bent to do anything he can to gain the
respect on the streets that his career as a writer of
women's fiction has failed to give him. The Last Street
Novel is another urban classic as only Tyree, the
self-proclaimed Urban Griot, can write them!
