It's the early 1990s and Ruby "Red" McCoy dreams of one day leaving her wooden house on the Central Coast of New South Wales, where her most loyal friend Stevie doesn't take the truth too seriously and her father Sid constantly runs afoul of the law. But the wild, sharp-witted Red can't seem to stay out of trouble, and Sid's latest scheme is even more ridiculous than usual. Meanwhile, Sergeant Trevor Healy appears to be waging a feud against every generation of the McCoys. Red, told in Ruby's vibrant, unmistakable voice, is part True Grit, part Blue Murder. It's a story of police pursuit, shady dealings, and even shadier cars. A family saga that refuses to stay in the past. A sharp, provocative, and incredibly funny novel.
