    About this ebook

    If you've ever been curious about what it would be like if the television shows Glee and Breaking Bad had a baby, A Cappella Drug Lord is for you.

    Tobey is a middle class kid from rural Illinois who arrives at Yale with hopes of joining the premiere a cappella group, the Lords. Getting into the group means a life of privilege and power. Little does he know that unbeknownst to them, the group is about to become cocaine mules for the Colombian drug trade putting all of their futures at risk.

    A serial novel told from multiple viewpoints, the first season of A Cappella Drug Lord will take you on a fast-paced journey from the Ivy League to the coca farms of Colombia and show you what happens when two very different worlds collide.

      I’ll be honest and say that when I saw the cliché-riddled cover, I almost gave up there and then. In fact I only persevered because I’d been told that the book was set in my old school and that the author, David Lines, had been there at the same time

      This book is dedicated to my siblings, Sage and Solon, who inspired to write this story.

      Episode 1 - The Scheme

      Tobey

      Yale University

      New Haven, Connecticut

      Tobey believed there were two types of people in this world: the winners and the losers. Tobey had always fashioned himself a winner. And as he stepped onto the Yale campus for the very first time as a student, he was sure that his fate as a winner type had been sealed. He was here. After years of struggling through the drudgery of a public high school one hour north of Chicago (Tobey liked to say he was from suburban Chicago, but he was really from out in the corn fields), he had made it to the top. This was the promised land.

      Despite his excitement, the thought at the forefront of his mind was much more mundane: he desperately needed to find a shower. The five day bonding trip in the woods required him and seven other companions to hike through the woods without the use of deodorant. Arriving on the campus with dirt smudges across his face, a hole in his jeans, and a forty-pound pack, left him self-conscious. He could see other students jumping out of Jaguars and BMWs looking effortlessly preppy and cool. As the trunks of their cars popped open, Tobey caught a glance of one perfectly organized load after another, no doubt packed by these wealthy students’ doting mothers who probably had nothing better to do than obsess over every little detail of their dear son’s departure to college. As mother after mother wearing pearls and cashmere sweaters stepped out of the passenger seat to direct the swarms of upperclassmen who were required to carry the incoming freshmen’s belongings up the stairs, his suspicions were confirmed. Clearly, Tobey came from a different world. But pretty soon, he’d be a part of this one. He was sure of that. Before any of his future friends could see him, he needed to find a shower.

      The freshmen at Yale live on the Old Campus. Old Campus is a beautiful quad surrounded by Gothic buildings. Students are assigned their dorm depending on their residential college. The residential college system was one of the many reasons Tobey had become enraptured by Yale; it was the real life Harry Potter. There was no Sorting Hat, but the residential college system was about as close as you could get
