Respect the Jux

By Frank C. Matthews

Book Overview

In this exciting urban novel--based on true events--a group of thieves perfect the art of the jux, a special kind of heist, rising from a ragtag band of petty criminals to a secret society, called The Order.In Jamaica, he learned the art of the "jux" robbing people by studying their everyday movements. By the age of eight, Cat was shoplifting and purse-snatching. By ten, he had his first gun. At fifteen, he committed his first murder. In New York City, he created The Order: a secret society of thieves who played by Cat's rules. He taught his crew how to pull off the perfect jux. Made them swear on a bible and a bullet. Robbed dealers, pushers, thugs. And raked in millions. Then Cat was betrayed--by one of his own men. In Miami, he set up a new operation. Bigger game, bigger stakes. The targets are prime--athletes, politicians, drug lords, celebrities--and the payoff is huge. But the party scene is as dangerous as the ladies are beautiful. Cat has to watch his back and remember the rules: Never trust a thief. Never get caught. And always respect the jux.
