Text from the back cover:
SIXTY SECONDS. SEVEN FLOORS.
THREE RULES. ONE GUN.
Will's older brother, Shawn, has been shot. Dead. Will feels a sadness so great he can't explain it. But in his neighborhood there are
THE RULES:
No. 1: Crying
Don't.
No matter what.
No. 2: Snitching
Don't.
No matter what.
No. 3: Revenge.
Do.
No matter what.
But bullets miss. You can get the wrong guy. And there's always someone else who knows to follow the rules.
