Detroit Author Publishes New Novel

"The Rise and Fall of the Mayor & Governor," a new book by Shawn Siler, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

"The Rise and Fall of the Mayor & Governor" tells of how two self-made drug lords learn the error of their ways.

Slim and Bone now share control of the illegal drug trade in the neighborhood around 7 Mile. With Slim's fearlessness coupled with Bone's business savvy, their operation soon grows into an interstate network that earns thousands of dollars a week. With such wealth and power funneling into their households each day, it is no wonder that both are blind to the havoc they are causing themselves and everyone they hold dear.

Along with the massive payoffs, frequent booty calls, and getting high, Slim and Bone's days are filled with raids, shootouts, showdowns, and regular run-ins with the law.

As Slim and Bone's operation continues to grow bigger, they hire new members. But they soon learn that they have unwittingly brought a traitor in their midst. Once the inevitable betrayal comes to pass, their life of crime unravels, sending them to their downfall.
