Red is a light-skinned black woman with flaming red hair and a personality to match. After years of abuse at the hands of family members, 18 year old Red seeks solace in the arms of a much older man, her lover Big Daddy. When Big Daddy dies, Red discovers he left behind a wife and children...and as her rage builds, so does her desire to unleash her anger on any man that crosses her path. Red tricks a boyfriend into believing she's pregnant, scoring big presents. But her trail of lies soon catches up with her when she discovers she is really pregnant and the father is behind bars...
Having apparently wounded all of her enemies, and even her beloved
Q, Red finds herself away from Detroit living the life of luxury in
Arizona. She's become a successful home broker with a bestselling
book, and it seems as if all of her dirty tricks have finally paid
off--from framing Detective Thomas to ruining Kera's freedom.
Unfortunately for Red, she's made more enemies than she can count,
and she soon finds herself running across country in fear of them
all while still being in love with Q. Everyone seems to have a
reason to pay her the ultimate revenge, and even the most unlikely
become partners if it means finally bringing an end to all of Red's
dirty schemes.
Following the phenomenal success of "Dirty Red, Essence" bestselling author Vickie Stringer is back with a sizzling sequel, "Still Dirty," and the notorious cast of characters -- Red, Bacon, and Q -- who made "Dirty Red" a hit. Red, the infamous expert of deception, is still up to no good, but faces challenges to baffle even the most clever hustler. Still, Red stops at nothing to outwit her adversaries and avoid being caught by either the law or the outlaws. In "Still Dirty," Red is again caught in a web of murder, theft, and deceit. We find her and her boyfriend Q running for a plane to Mexico after a violent fight with her ex-boyfriend Bacon, a released convict. Bacon is on their heels and determined not to let Red get away alive. Will Q come to her rescue once again? Or will he tire of cleaning up after Red's dirty deeds? With an action-packed plot and sassy, stylish dialogue, Stringer creates a web of love and adventure that will keep you begging for more.
"Let That Be the Reason" was the breakthrough debut novel that became an urban-lit classic and launched Vickie Stringer's career as bestselling author and publisher. "Imagine This" was the bestselling sequel and now comes the prequel "The Reason Why," the long-awaited revelation of how Pamela and Chino became an urban contemporary Bonnie and Clyde. Pamela was a naive coed from Detroit, going to classes by day and clubs by night. The hottest spot was Jazzy Jay's, and that's where one of the guys slipped his gun into her pocketbook, knowing that the police who had just descended on the club wouldn't check the girls for weapons. She didn't know his name or anything other than he was cute and charming. But when she tracked him down to return his property, she found out his name was Chino; his game was hustling; and his plan was to make her his woman, his wifey, and give her more than she ever bargained for out of life, love, and the pursuit of money.
From literary icon and "Essence" bestselling author of "Imagine This" and "Dirty Red" comes forth the classic urban novel that launched Vickie Stringer's wildly successful career -- "Let That Be the Reason." This is the remix. Based on Stringer's real-life experiences, this epic tale has changed the face of contemporary literature and continues to resonate and provide voice to thousands of urban readers as a cautionary tale of will and redemption. Pamela Xavier is a young woman left for dead by her drug-dealing boyfriend, Chino. With stacks of bills, no food in the fridge, and a baby on the way, Pammy turns to the streets for survival. Her back against the wall, Pammy relies on her alter ego, Carmen, to guide her through the male-dominated game and to achieve what she thinks will buy back her life and her happiness: money. In no time, Carmen graduates from call-girl service to leader of a major drug cartel -- all to raise her son so he may never know her same pain and struggle. But with money on her mind, Carmen soon realizes that the perilous choices and consequences of the game come at a much higher cost than she could ever have imagined. "Let That Be the Reason" in this collector's edition, including additional chapters and dialogue, is a true-to-life saga of a woman's love, ambition to survive, forgiveness, and salvation.
Fresh from 'Still Dirty', Q, Bacon and Red are still up to their old tricks. Q wishes Bacon had killed Red when he had the chance. Bacon is now the top hustler and wants Red to himself, believing that she has finally changed. But it all comes to a head when a snooping detective suspects Red's involvement in a murder.
