Description
"The hell-raiser. He was the black son of a white woman-- a beautiful white woman who loathed and despised him. To Allen Smith, that was the worst fate that could befall a man. Yet, whatever his mother's color, he wasn't born to be a loser, and when she brought him to New York City to live with her, he saw his chance to settle all scores-- not only with his mother, but with anyone in the world unlucky enough to love, hate, or admire him. If the world was unjust, a man had to make his own heaven and raise his own hell-- and nobody knew better how to do that than the child of rage." --
