"There has never been a substitute for originality. Renay Jackson
serves up a generous, innovative dose of it in the first of his
series of crime novels, Oaktown Devil. The story plays out on the
streets of Oakland in California's underbelly, where drug
trafficking, violence, and double crosses are a way of life. This
powerfully framed tale of what has recently been termed 'hip hop
literature' is the zenith of the art form."
- Robert Greer, best-selling author of "The CJ Floyd Mysteries" and
"Heat Shock"
