DETROIT -- Update: August 1st, 2:05 p.m.

The Associated Press reports that Kwame Kilpatrick's book, "Surrendered! The Rise, Fall and Revelation of Kwame Kilpatrick" has been delayed from release in stores. The book can currently be purchased on the kwamekilpatrickbook.com website. There's no word yet when it will be available in other locations.

A judge has ordered Kilpatrick to use all profits from this book to repay the City of Detroit.


Disgraced former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's tell-all book is to be released Monday.

The book is titled, "Surrendered! The Rise, Fall and Revelation of Kwame Kilpatrick."

While he takes responsibility for an affair with an aide and for lies that he told during a civil trial that sent him to prison, Kilpatrick also blames a number of others for his downfall.

The former Mayor was sent to prison last year after a judge ruled he violated parole in a criminal case that forced him out of office.

Kilpatrick still faces legal troubles however, he is scheduled for trial on tax and fraud charges in September.

The Detroit News reports that the Former Detroit Mayor will 
step out of prison a free man early Tuesday.  Kilpatrick won permission from both state and federal authorities to transfer his two-year parole to Texas in his conviction in the text message scandal. He must report to authorities there within 24 hours of his release.

Kilpatrick also must make an "earnest effort to find employment," and his parole supervisor will set an amount and schedule for him to make payments toward the $861,000 he still owes on $1 million restitution he promised the city of Detroit.
