Tattoo of Death

R. A. Montgomery

Bantam Books, 1995 - Juvenile Nonfiction - 116 pages

The Red Flowers is L.A's Baddest Gang -- And You're on its Most Wanted List!
When you become friends with two slimy students in your martial arts class, you are soon lured into the dangerous Red Flowers gang: thugs who smuggle innocent people into the United States, then force them into slavery. You're in deep -- the ugly flower tattoo on your arm proves that -- but you are determined to stop these deadly deals, unless the Red Flowers stop you first. The Anaconda, a hit man named after the South American killer snake, and the rest of the gang are hunting you. How will you stay alive?
If you go to Japan to make a deal with the gang leader, turn to page 97. If you hide out at a deserted beach house, turn to page 67. If you go to the police, turn to page 91. Be careful! The Red Flowers make paybacks through violence and death. You may get the gang busted. Or you may run straight into one of the Red Flowers' traps -- and disappear forever.
What happens next in the story? It all depends on the choices you make. How does the story end? Only you can find out! And the best part is that you can keep reading and rereading until you've had not one but many incredibly daring experiences!
