Publisher Description
Rapper and Law & Order: SVU star Ice-T brings his unique knowledge of the streets to a gritty crime thriller, the sequel to Kings of Vice.
Marcus "Crush" Casey should have it made. After two long decades in Attica, he's back on top and ruling the streets he left behind. But maintaining control of New York's underworld is harder than he ever imagined.
Crush has built an uneasy alliance between most of the gangs in New York, with himself at the head. As long as he keeps producing, they've got his back. They're even helping him clean up the city.
But there's a new player in town, an Armenian gangster named Alek who's got his eye on kingpin status. Crush is faced with a dangerous choice: partner with Alek...or go to war.
Ice-T's experience with crime and gangs in Los Angeles and his years on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit makes him the perfect person to tell the story of Mirror Image, a thrilling novel of revenge and redemption.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This sequel to Kings of Vice shares all the shortcomings of its predecessor plot improbabilities, lackluster prose, and paper-thin characters. After emerging from decades behind bars to reclaim his position as one of NYC's leading gangsters, Marcus "Crush" Casey is now trying to unite all of the city's organized crime entities. He does so by launching another ambitious scheme, this time using technology to hack the NYPD and bring it into disrepute by exposing corrupt cops. The text is uneven and unintentionally humorous in spots, as when the ultra-violent Casey (who had done time for attempted murder) observes, "All smart men knew that true power came through profound words and innovative ideas." Only later to plot more ridiculousness of using an army of irresistible "fine bitch" to target Wall Street fat cats and unscrupulous drug company execs to bolster his crew's coffers.
