Brittani Williams’ Black Diamond trilogy dives into the drug trade in Philadelphia, following characters whose ambitions put them on a collision course with loyalty and survival. The first book, Black Diamond (2008), sets up the world and its players, while Nicety and Lucky Chance expand the story’s scope as alliances shift and old debts come due.
The series is a fast-paced ride through urban crime fiction, with Williams focusing as much on the personal relationships between her characters as on the street-level action. Readers who enjoy gritty, character-driven crime stories set in real American cities will find a lot to like here.
