This fourth book to the Dirty Red series can be better labeled as a Quadrilogy or Saga, however you prefer to label it was yet another successful read. Ms. Vickie M. Stringer did it again! This book started off with Red living it up in her 2 million dollar home in Scottsdale Arizona. She finally thought she had escaped everyone and everything back in Detroit, including Detective Thomas (the cop she set up for rape) and Jerome (her mother’s boyfriend who physically violated her as a child). There was only one person she had missed in Detroit and it was the infamous Q. Once the love of her life but after shooting him in instead of Bacon, there is no way he would ever give her another chance. Just as Red was getting comfortable in her hot tub, sipping Cristal, her home phone rang and it was Catfish, he had found her and was at her door. Manipulated to open the door she begin plotting on how she was gonna get away from him. After sidetracking him, Red was able to hit him with the Cristal bottle and then using the same bottle to break his fingers. Once she had the opportunity, she ran out the back door of her 7,000 square foot home and into the Arizona Desert. Red had no clothes, no keys and no shoes, only the bikini she was wearing in her hot tub that day. Red ended up on the run for months, never ever returning back to her home in Scottsdale, where she basically had everything, her stash, account numbers and credit cards. Now on the run through several states, Red is force to live up to her old ways and scam up her some money. The longer Red was on the run and the more states she visited, more of her old demons from Detroit begin to close in on her. With Catfish, Black and Detective Thomas teaming up to catch her, she has more at stake and more bullets to dodge. There was a time in Mexico when she ran into Q and his new wife Chass and although she was happy to see Q, it did not stop her from running. While on the run, she meet several people who helped her take her scamming up a few notches and in the end she walked out with enough money to relocate to New York as Regina Morales. Once again she was back on top with a luxury apartment, Gomez Literary Agency and two Gomez Realty Offices, a personal assistant service for high-profile clients, and her royalty checks from Triple Crown Publication. Even with all her new found success and her new name Red still could not hide long enough to stay safe. Detective Thomas and Black found her in New York and were minutes away from killing her before her knight and shining armor came to save her. Now headed to the airport, Red is once again back on the run but with who is the question!
