Once your name was entered in The Black Ledger, death was the only way it was coming out!

Ron Pickles was having a bad day, but then again, no one working or living in Chicago's ghetto ever really has a good day. Mr. Wicks prophetic words haunted him as the news of the murders tore at his soul.

“The Ledger is alive; it knows who you are and what you’re thinking. Why its whole purpose is to take away anything you think is important. Once you start working here, it eats you up, consumes you and spits you out. It takes away your soul, everything inside that makes you human and leaves you with nothing but emptiness."

Ron had lost everything but his soul - he wasn't going to lose that to The Black Ledger!

“This novel breaks barriers of the thriller genre. I have never read somethings so unique as this world that D.G. Allen has created”
– John Franklin, screenwriter: “Children of the Corn 666” Isaac’s return” Author: Prime Cuts (Graphic Novel)

“I grew up in the Chicago community depicted in this novel. D.G. Allen paints a much darker but funnier side of that neighborhood I could never have imagined. It’s a captivating and wonderfully written story. A must Read!”
– Debra Wright Hughes

"D.G. Allen's The Black Ledger is a smart, often funny, and compelling look at the dirty business of "death insurance" on the West Side of Chicago. Allen has vividly recreated the time and place with impeccable detail, colorful characters, and crackling dialog; not to mention a heartbreaking murder mystery that always keeps you guessing. It may be set in the 80's but it is a powerful message about race and corruption still resonating today!"
