HITTAS

HITTAS: THE KING EMPIRE: BOOK ONE

A billion dollars missing. Two FBI agents dead.
One family standing on the edge of war.

Houston is about to explode.

When $1.5 billion vanishes overnight, every cartel, mob family, and organized crime boss in the city points the finger at the same man:

LJ King - the quiet nephew who kept everyone's books.

But LJ isn't running by choice.
He's being used.
Hidden.
Manipulated by forces inside his own bloodline.

Meanwhile, DJ King-patriarch of the King family and the most feared man in Houston's underworld-races to uncover the truth as bodies drop across the city. His enemies are closing in, the FBI is tightening the noose, and his own family is fracturing beneath him.

His twins, Jasmine and James, are rising fast:

• Jasmine is cutting deals, taking territory, and killing with precision.

• James is pulling the strings behind Cream-the designer drug set to reshape the entire empire.

But alliances shatter when a sniper kills a rival boss, a cartel burns from the inside, and two undercover agents are murdered by a woman no one sees coming.

And in the shadows, DJ's brother Lue and their long-trusted ally Harvey orchestrate a betrayal years in the making-one that will ignite a war inside the King family itself.

By the time the smoke clears, only one truth remains:

In the criminal trenches of Houston, family is everything-
and the deadliest enemy may be the one who shares your blood.

As Book One closes, DJ realizes the game has changed:
"Everything before today was business. What comes next... is personal."

Perfect for fans of Power, Snowfall, Ozark, and The Wire,
The King Empire launches a brutal, addictive saga where ambition cuts deep, loyalty is a weapon, and every chapter hits like gunfire.
