Troubleman

A Novel

By: K'wan

Narrated by: Cary Hite

The legendary urban lit author returns with a new character, a new city, a new series, as AUWA Books makes its first foray into fiction.

Toussaint Batiste is returning home to the City of Brotherly Love hoping he can, for once in his life, outrun his nickname: Trouble.

Toussaint has been in prison, but before that he was a Philadelphia police officer. He’s returning home with few friends on either side of the law, but with a little apartment in Chinatown and a vested interest in taking care of the family restaurant downstairs, he expects to have enough to keep himself busy.

But as ever, Trouble has other ideas.

K’wan made his name publishing urban crime fiction series like Animal and Hood Rat and rose to the top ranks of the genre, creating his own literary Harlem as rich as anything out of Mario Puzo or Elmore Leonard. Now, he is teaming up with Questlove to take on a whole new territory—a whole new jawn—with Troubleman, the beginning of a brand new series that brings Philadelphia to literary life in a way that’s never been done before. Trouble.

Loved IT!!

I love any book I’ve ever read by K’WAN (Animal series) will always be my fav but favorite character was TroubleMan and JJ JJ reminds me of the dude form the movie how high but I laughed the whole way through this book and of course I love the narrator for this book Carry Hite didn’t see that coming about Butterfly or the truth about John and Sue

Awesome Read!

I would love to have a Troubleman Series! Skill set, smarts, worldviews and magnet for a good fight makes the character one to crave 💯🥰

Wowwww!

Wowwww! This was an interesting book and different than K’wan’s other books. This one was a detective novel and I enjoyed the storyline and action! After listening to the book on a long drive recently my husband even got caught up in the story and later inquired about what happened to one of the characters. 😂 This may be the start of a new detective series by K’wan. If so, I’d definitely read it.

Excellent as always

Excellent writing, excellent reading, beautiful black men teaming up loved it as always, Cary hite & kawan

Another great story

What’s not to like. With k’wans storytelling and Cary’s narration this story was on point. Hopefully Troubleman is here for a few more books!
