<p>Twist has a problem. His Newark, New Jersey neighborhood is under siege in a bloody turf war that has spun out of control. As one of the leaders of the Skulls, Twist devises a last-ditch attempt to end the war by kidnapping a high-ranking member of the rival gang with the hope of forcing them into submission. But his plan doesn't turn out as expected. When negotiations deteriorate and violence escalates, the only recourse left is the execution of the hostage. As a volatile situation grows more explosive by the hour, the lines between right and wrong blur. And for Twist, resolution comes at a price. Still Black Remains captures the struggle to realize the American Dream in a landscape filled with desperation, anger and futility, where the only choices are violent ones. Bookviral Review Offbeat, daring, and convincingly original, Still Black Remains proves a nerve-rattling read in the best of ways with moments in Michaels’ narrative that are absolutely chilling. As an engrossing read, it really is quite irresistible and it’s clear from the start that Michaels has a gift for developing insightfully nuanced dialogue. Most books, even well-known bestsellers, are quickly forgotten when we return to the real world but not this one as Michaels pens a sharp and visceral urban tale that’s wrought with social insight. On this level alone there’s reason enough to begin reading with the mood of his characters lingering long after the last page is turned. They are simultaneously engrossing and repellent but where he ultimately makes his mark is with his ability to make us understand Twist’s feelings. This brings a presence and stability that underpins the whole narrative whilst offering us a glimpse of a struggle few of us will ever know beyond the realms of fiction. Powerful and thought provoking, contemporary fiction, Still Black Remains demands to be read and marks Michaels as an author to keep a close eye on. It is recommended without reservation.</p>
