"An exhilarating novel that won't let readers down." --Books To Mention
How do you rob the bank where you work as a teller, plus get revenge on your shady ex, escape South Central L.A.--and get away with it all? If you're Trudy, aka "Trudy with the Booty," it's simple. . .
Having recruited a posse of hustlers, car-jackers, and homewreckers who hang out at the seedy club where she sings after hours, Trudy is ready to launch the heist that will make them rich. That is, she's ready to play dumb behind the counter while her ex, Lil Steve, does the work--and then her home-girl robs him! It's a fool-proof plan--until greed, nerves, lust, and jealousy threaten to blow it. Soon Trudy is trapped in a fight for her life. And a scheme that was supposed to be easy becomes a pistol-whipping bout of wills, where only the strongest survive.

good read, truly good book with interesting characters some parts were slow and others were exactly what I was looking for. I really want another installment to see what happens to our girl Trudy, her beau and their new life. Vernetta was a loyal wise as friend liked her too. the author sure knows how to put together a good book where is she now....
