Book Description
The "Shower Posse" is derived from the "shower" of lead it shoots at rivals. Referred to by the FBI as "the most violent and notorious criminal organization ever in America," the Shower Posse was the epitome of drug dealing ruthlessness. This tell-all saga is in the words of its mastermind, Vivian Blake. Blake skyrocketed to wealth with savvy business skills, but his savage henchmen terrorized the sheets into submission. Blake's men had been raised in Jamaica where murders went unsolved daily. Shower ran wild spraying bullets on anyone and everyone in their way. Their weapons, fingerprints and m.o.'s were not traceable. Most American police had never seen any of them before. That careless attitude toward pulling triggers earned a record 1400+ murders and quickly established Shower's rep.

Shower Posse: The Most Notorious Jamaican Criminal Organization by Duane Blake is a "tell-all" expose of one of Jamaica's most infamous drug cartels. From its origins to the internal strife, greed, and ruthless infighting that brought about its downfall, Shower Posse raptly catches the reader's total attention with its vivid and accurate details as well as the unflattering portrayals of the worst of human nature.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. This book has good realistic details, I believed every bit of this story. I couldn't put this book down. The book is an easy read for a Jamaican or an American. The book shows how in the Jamaican community, family comes first, unfortunately due to Vivian's family's greed and coveting they were his downfall, but he never turned his back on anyone. Please support Duane Blake's attempt at showing his father's real story.

One of the most rivetting and spectacular books I've read in years!! Shower Posse takes you through the life of Vivian Blake the leader of the most notorious gang of the last century. If you liked the movie "Scarface" you'll love this book. Once you start reading this book you will not want to put it down.
The best book ever July 25, 2006

This is the best book I've EVER read. What makes it even more entertaining, if you can call it that, is that it's about 2 of my uncle's!!
