Dirty Red
Author(s): Vickie M. Stringer
From the "queen of urban fiction" (Publishers Weekly), Vicki Stringer, comes a scorching tale of love, lies, loss, and the indomitable spirit of a woman scorned.
Mischievous and manipulative, eighteen-year-old Red is an expert at deception with a provocative femininity. She employs her dirty ways - even faking a pregnancy with her boyfriend - to win a closet full of Gucci bags, a deluxe condominium full of baby accessories, a new car, and a book deal. But when one of Red's scams backfires and she winds up truly pregnant by her inmate ex-boyfriend, Bacon, she finds herself in more trouble than she's ever known. The drama truly unravels when Red's picture-perfect cons fall apart due to the power of - surprisingly - love.
Review(s):
"A calculatedly nasty yet redemptive take of a ruthless woman...[A] savvy street thriller." - Booklist
"Gritty, gripping...Readers will agree that Stringer, known as the queen of street literature, has earned her crown once more." - Tampa Tribune
