Blood on Auburn Street

By: Mr. Diverne J Ingraham, Lacher Abril Ingraham - editor

Narrated by: Millie Hearts

Blood stains. Secrets linger. Justice has a price.

Detective Jalen Ross knows Auburn Street like the back of his hand — its corners, its hustlers, its ghosts. But when a young gang member is gunned down inside a corner store, Jalen discovers a chilling message left behind just for him: a red envelope containing a photo from his undercover past.

The photo forces him back into the shadows of the life he thought he’d escaped — back to Terrell “T-Rex” Martin, a ruthless gang lieutenant who should have been locked away for decades. Instead, Terrell offers Jalen a deadly bargain: work together to take down Rico Lane, the new kingpin terrorizing the neighborhood.

One warehouse. Two guns. A storm of bullets.

But when the smoke clears, Jalen finds himself standing over a pile of bodies — and staring down a girl with braids, the same one who started it all.

Gritty, fast-paced, and emotionally charged, Blood on Auburn Street is a pulse-pounding African American crime thriller about loyalty, betrayal, and survival in a neighborhood where the line between hero and villain is razor-thin.

If you love Walter Mosley, S. A. Cosby, or urban noir with a twist, this flash-length thriller will leave you breathless — and looking over your shoulder.
