Red Candy
Kim Halo is today’s hottest lifestyle guru. She has a clothing line and a daytime TV show. She describes herself as “perky and inspiring.”
Candy Valkyrie is a sociopathic homicidal ex-con and she loathes Kim Halo.
Both women have reinvented themselves from the same bad-girl past. But only Kim has become a celebrity. Out of prison, Candy embarks on a sweeping revenge that will destroy Kim’s world and earn Candy millions. Candy’s helpers are a sexually-enslaved mercenary and a hand-picked Los Angeles psycho. The violence they unleash on Kim Halo and her family is calculated and harrowing.
But Kim turns out to be a much harder target than her “perky” self-image might suggest. The past—one she shared with Candy—taught her how to survive. She confronts her nemesis in a non-stop thrill-ride, from the beaches of Malibu, to a snowy ski resort town with secrets, to the streets of Hollywood.
When these former bad girls reunite, the body count rises and only one will survive.
