D.M. EDWARDS

​Julian (Doc) Sebasst is a quiet university professor in the Virgin Islands, where he is trying to live a simple life with the woman he loves. He's a cerebral man, slow to ruffle, but highly protective of his privacy and mysterious past.  His business partner is San Francisco millionaire, Marcus St. John, owner of one of the largest private security firms in the country. He’s hot-tempered, distrusts everyone, and hates the police. 

The men are as different as two sides of a coin, but are bonded together by their lifetime friendship and one simple code: "Don't start nothing; won't be nothing." Despite their best efforts, trouble pursues them like shadows. They are middle-aged black men moving in the world of the privileged where their wealth and influence count for nothing, the adversaries are powerful, and the georgraphy is also their enemy. The challenges are great, the risks—high, and the odds for success are slim. Regardless of the obstacles and dangers, they are relentless in their resolve to finish what others start.
