Vickie Stringer catapulted into literary success when she sold thousands of copies of her first novel from the trunk of her car. That debut title, Let That Be the Reason, won praise from The Washington Post, who called it “a street lit insta-classic,” and gave birth to one of the wildest and most outrageous heroines in urban fiction history: Dirty Red. In Still Dirty, good old Red, that infamous expert of deception, is still up to making trouble. Though she faces challenges that would baffle even the shrewdest hustler, Red stops at nothing to outwit her adversaries and avoid being caught by either the law or the outlaws. Trapped once again in a web of murder, theft, and deceit, Red escapes with her boyfriend Q, running for a plane to Mexico after a violent fight with her ex-boyfriend Bacon, a released convict. Hot on their heels and fueled by jealous rage, Bacon is 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, Vickie Stringer creates a web of love and adventure that will keep her legion of devoted fans begging for more.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9781416563594","publication_date":"20090630","publisher":"Atria Books","slug":"still-dirty","subtitle":"A Novel","title":"Still Dirty"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"FIC049070","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Black Urban Fiction","score":0.7889,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"FIC049020","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Black Women's Fiction","score":0.7824,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"FIC049030","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Black Erotica","score":0.7697,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"FIC049070","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Black Urban Fiction","score":0.7889,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"FIC049020","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Black Women's Fiction","score":0.7824,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"FIC049030","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Black Erotica","score":0.7697,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"FIC049020","confidence_band":"high","label":"Black Women's Fiction","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"FIC049070","confidence_band":"high","label":"Black Urban Fiction","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"FIC050000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Crime Fiction","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Black Urban Fiction","score":0.7889,"slug":"black-urban-fiction"},{"label":"Black Women's Fiction","score":0.7824,"slug":"black-women-s-fiction"},{"label":"Black Erotica","score":0.7697,"slug":"black-erotica"}],"reader_fit":["Readers seeking crime, deception, and romantic entanglements","Readers who enjoy action-packed plots and sassy dialogue"],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Vickie M.
