Blinking Red Light
by Mister Mann Frisby
Riverhead Books

Sex, money, temptation, and betrayal—welcome to the world of BLINKING RED LIGHT, the amazingly raw and honest debut novel from Mister Mann Frisby.  Originally self-published, this hip hop page-turner is available for the first time as a Riverhead Freestyle trade paperback, a new line of young, urban fiction with a hip hop flavor.  With a story ripped from the streets of North Philly, as absorbing as it is real, BLINKING RED LIGHT introduces a writer with a serious and striking talent.

When the narrator, whose name we never learn, and his longtime friend Dex are offered a sweet deal—big cash for sleeping with women with no strings attached—they can’t say no, even though the jobs are videotaped as part of a blackmail ring with mob ties.  But things start to spiral out of control when the two discover their boss dead in his apartment, the victim of a grisly murder—and before long, they’re the two prime suspects.  As our narrator begins to unravel this twisted story he realizes that someone is lying, but will he discover who before it’s too late? As twists and turns come flying full speed, it’s only a matter of time before the consequences turn lethal.

This is an unmistakable hit in a genre ready to take off.  A gritty and utterly believable novel that leaves the reader guessing until the end, BLINKING RED LIGHT questions who you can trust, and what you can believe.
