The full novel. 310 pages of Brooklyn, betrayal, and five letters on a door.
Seven years for a murder he didn't commit. One year to burn down the empire that put him there.
In the Breukelen Projects — the Brooklyn block its own people call Nubia Gold — Rayhiem Jones is the man who gets the lights turned back on. A community organizer who walks into buildings the police won't enter. A leader with six brothers who have followed him since they were boys.
Then he runs a drug crew called Supranova off his block, and its boss buys two witnesses and a verdict.
Clinton. Attica. Sing Sing. Seven years that don't break him — seven years that give him a plan.
Rayhiem comes home and asks his brothers for everything: their savings, their bodies, their silence, and the rest of their lives. In a gutted tenement on Dumont Avenue they build a shooting range, a classroom, and a dojo. Then they go to work.
No product taken. No cash stolen. No names, no faces. Just five spray-painted letters left on every door they close: TGONG.
Within a year the tag is on the front page of every paper in New York. The neighborhoods call them the Masked Angels. Two federal agents build their careers around catching them. And the man who framed Rayhiem, bleeding millions to a crew he can't find, decides to stop hunting the men behind the masks — and start hunting the people they love.
Beneath it all runs a dream Rayhiem has had every night since he was sixteen: seven pulsing lights, calling his name, delivering a message he has never once been able to hear.
How much good can a man do before it costs him everything he loves?
From the Oscar-nominated writer and executive producer of the A24 film Sing Sing.
John "Divine G" Whitfield is a PEN Award–winning playwright, co-founder of Rehabilitation Through the Arts, and the author of eight novels. His life story inspired Sing Sing, in which Colman Domingo earned a Best Actor nomination portraying him. Every prison corridor in this novel was walked by the man who wrote it.
