When Teddy’s oath to be an obstruction almost gets Daisy fired, she declares war. But as the two cross swords, they start to discover they both need a little rescuing.

Story
Necessary Evil is a book based on the social ecology of New York’s drug trade during the early 90s. It documents how people from various ethnic back rounds function in the “urban melting pot”. Dealing with poverty many young men turn to selling narcotics as a means of survival. We often examine the perils of the inner city, with the many treacherous deeds, crimes and evil acts performed by some of our brothers and sisters. Not taking the time to realize that a lot of these evils are necessary to establish them as apex predators in a concrete jungle where the rules are eat or be eaten.
