Boy Kills Man



“An adult is aware of the consequences, he’s likely to hesitate before pulling the trigger, or scale down the hit and just scare the sucker instead. A boy doesn't think like that. You give him a job, he’ll get it done, no question. Why? Because a boy knows the consequences if he doesn't see it through.”

Boy kills Man is a story about two Columbian boys Sonny and Alberto, who are tired of only getting a fraction of what the older guys get for running cigarettes for Galan the owner of the local shop who always says how he’s connected to the Columbian drug lords. One day on the way to work the boys walk into a robbery in progress at Galan’s shop, but the robber pays no attention to them and Alberto beats the man to death, and Galan makes a call. Soon a silver pickup comes and takes the body away, but the men taking away the body were real gangsters the kind that worked for the people who ran the country. It was evident that Galan spoke highly of the two boys to a man called “El Fantasma”, where Alberto got his first actual “job”. He had been given a Smith and Wesson 45 semi-automatic pistol from the boss to hold until he got called. Soon after Alberto started buying expensive things for himself and Sonny. Soon Sonny starts to get tired of receiving gifts for free and wants to go with Alberto on his next job, e was denied by Alberto’s driver but was promised to be taken on the next one. However that would be the last time Alberto and Sonny saw each other ever.


Some time later Sonny is recruited by El Fantasma, and learns what Alberto was doing, killing people that El Fantasma didn't rather fancy. But it pays the bills and got him what he wanted. But exactly how long does Sonny have in this business? Will he share the same fate as Alberto? And what will his family say? Boy kills Man is a book for anyone who loves movies like Scarface, The Godfather, or any other crime movie this book is for you.
