Mango Lane Boy's first Novel shamelessly delves into the naked truth, paying homage to the drug and prostitution scene. "The Illicit Game" Amazingly captures the colorful people and culture in a thought-provoking way.

Unmistakably, the raw unedited facts presented by an ex-player/Kingpin in the seedy prostitution and drug underworld. With an authority for detail he reveals the language and lifestyle of this alluring way of life.

Loosely based on the story of Lanny and Nicole Donovan, The Illicit Game is an odyssey chronicling the rise and fall of their booming multi-million-dollar cocaine and prostitution business.

Lanny has come a long way since his days as a paperboy. It all started in the '80s, with his Colombian girlfriend Maria. These days, he's an advocate for the world's oldest profession, prostitution. It's his street name, "Junior," that's on people's lips when it comes to cocaine. He's worked hard to become a quiet kingpin, standing in the midst of two lucrative illicit businesses. Some of the people who called him "nigger" and "jungle bunny" all those years ago now unknowingly line his pockets with cash. Lanny can be seen rubbing elbows with local high rollers on any given night of the week, and always with a beautiful girl by his side.

When call-girls Maria, Frosty, Emilie and Nicole transform themselves from mediocre sex workers to the city's most intoxicating, sought-after escorts, leaving clients breathless—and penniless—from their potent spells; painted lips, long lacquered nails, high heels, and condoms a few tools of the trade to boot. Lanny suspects he has met the one. Nicole knows all the tricks of the trade. Or so she thinks.

This is no Cinderella story, it's thought-provoking.
