Hoodlum started as a standalone novel in 2005 before K’wan returned to it with Hoodlum 2: The Good Son in 2017. The twelve-year gap between installments is notable, and the sequel picks up with a new generation while connecting back to the events of the original book.

The long wait between books reflects K’wan’s busy publishing schedule during that period, which saw him produce the Animal series, Hood Rat series, and numerous other titles. Returning to Hoodlum after over a decade gave fans of the original a chance to revisit that world with fresh eyes.
