Publisher's summary

Knocked up by a Southern preacher, Keyshia is sent to live with her aunt in New York, but after a horrific act of violence, the timid young woman becomes ice-cold - turning tricks and finding comfort in a crack vial.

Clyde and his two brothers find themselves living with a family friend after their mother is shot by their own father - leaving her institutionalized and unable to communicate, and him behind bars. Clyde's older brother leads a decent life, working as a bank manager and trying to keep Clyde off the streets, but Clyde's younger bro is the coldest killer in Harlem and takes every opportunity to involve Clyde in his infamous robberies turned blood baths.

When Keyshia and Clyde meet, they are instantly drawn to each other. Forced to pay back a large sum of cash to one nasty Harlem kingpin or risk the lethal consequences, Keyshia and Clyde use their tight game and their loyalty to pull off the impossible. And when Clyde is falsely accused of a bank hit, Keyshia vows to stick by her man - no matter the cost.

Critic reviews

"Treasure Blue continues and solidifies his position as the true heir to Iceberg Slim and Donald Goines. A book full of gritty realism, violence, drug abuse, and hope; the book is simply off the damn hook!" (African American Literary Book Club)

Keyshia and Clyde

Great book!!! I loved the loyalty, honesty and justice that was portrayed in this book.

Loved It!

This was my first Audible book, and the first book I have ever listened to on my mp3 player. I guess the angels were in my corner, because this book was AWESOME. The narration was excellent! My intention was to listen to the book while I did my morning walks, but it got so good, that I would listen, at home, at work....everywhere. Lots of suspense and I hated to see this story end!

Keyshia and Clyde (Unabridged

this book was overwhelmingly inspirational. The power of black love, between man and women and devotion to family was so real and felt all the way down to the soul. I'm still speachless. Treasure keep writing you're a tremendous inspirational story teller, you're at the top. I give 20 stars. A must read, make sure u have a box of tissues (lots of tears of both sadness and triumph).
