Three Moves Ahead

By Christopher M. Trotter

'Three Moves Ahead' is a powerful and emotionally layered novel that follows the life of Caleb J. Dean, known to many as Bill, a street-savvy entrepreneur caught between the fast-paced world of drug trafficking and the hope of building something real and lasting. From the neighborhoods of New Orleans to the high-stakes world of DEA investigations, Bill's life is one of ambition, loyalty, betrayal, and difficult choices. Alongside trusted friends and family, he builds a thriving cocaine empire, only to find himself searching for a way out. With law enforcement closing in and the weight of the past becoming harder to escape, Bill sets his sights on something more-Envy Fashions, a high-end clothing business meant to lead him toward legitimacy and legacy. As Bill navigates love, family loss, betrayal, and the constant threat of violence, he must face the truth about who he is and what he truly wants. His relationships with his sister Stephanie, his lover Staci, his daughter Faith, and even an undercover agent test the limits of trust and redemption. Written with clarity and intensity, 'Three Moves Ahead' is a powerful portrait of a man standing at a crossroads. It's a story of transformation, the cost of ambition, and the fragile hope that real change is still possible.
