When the twins were fourteen, their father reformed gangster Irish Barnes' top gun Scotch made love to both of them. He left Harlem after impregnating Diamond and Pearl. Nine months later on Christmas Day each gave birth. Their parents raise the grandchildren as Pearl makes something of herself becoming an FBI Agent while Diamond continues clubbing.
It has been seven years since the kids were born; gangster Mookie Mason slowly drowns Diamond and his goons tie up Irish, his wife and their grandchildren before setting the place on fire. However, Mookie made one mistake; he left a family survivor and she is coming for them using their sex as a weapon.
This is an exciting erotic noir starring a delightful avenging angel who goes after her family’s killers one at a time. The story line is fast-paced, but character driven as Noire sets the stage with the background of the twins before Mookie kills the Barnes family. Thus the key to this super urban thriller is the erotica is a tool used by the avenger. Readers will root for Pearl as she uses her erotic skills as much as her FBI experience and training to avenge the deaths of her loved ones.
