Step into the smoky billiard halls and shadowy backrooms of the southern United States in the 1970s and 80s, where the stakes are high, and the rules are unwritten. In this gripping debut novel, meet Darrell, a sharp-witted teenager navigating life in a family steeped in hustling, gambling, and crime near Chattanooga, Tennessee. By day, he's just another high school kid. By night, he's neck-deep in pool tables, shady deals, and the quiet, unspoken codes of survival passed down through generations.
Caught between loyalty to his family, the lure of fast money, and the burning dreams he can't quite name, Darrell must balance a dangerous double life before it all comes crashing down. Darrell the Hustler: The Georgia Con is a raw, unforgettable glimpse into a world most people only hear about in whispers-told with grit, heart, and the pulse of a life lived one shot at a time.
