Evelyn Rose Thompson had everything—wealth, privilege, and a life high above San Francisco in Nob Hill. But in a single moment, it all disappears. Betrayed by her father, abandoned without warning, Evelyn is forced into a world she never imagined—the harsh, unforgiving streets of the Tenderloin.
Bruno Vic Vizcarra has never known anything else.
After his father, a respected San Francisco police officer, was murdered, Bruno was left to navigate a life shaped by loss, violence, and survival. Raised in the Tenderloin, he fights every day to hold onto the values his father died for—even as gangs try to pull him into their world.
When Evelyn and Bruno’s lives collide at Drake Middle School, they quickly learn the truth: this is not a place where teachers hold power. The gangs do. Every hallway, every glance, every decision can mean the difference between safety and becoming the next target.
Then there’s Red.
With his striking crimson hair and an aura no one dares to challenge, Red is the one figure the gangs seem to fear. Untouchable. Unquestioned. He offers Evelyn, Bruno, and a small group of students something they desperately need—protection.
But it comes at a cost.
Join him… and the gangs will never touch them again.
Refuse… and they’re on their own.
At first, Red feels like a savior. But as lines blur and loyalties are tested, Evelyn and Bruno begin to wonder—what if the person protecting them is the most dangerous one of all?
Fast-paced, gripping, and emotionally charged, Red is a story that will captivate young adult readers while keeping adults turning pages late into the night.

Evelyn Rose Thompson was born into a life of wealth. She had everything a teenager could want. She lived in San Francisco’s Nob Hill District overlooking the Pacific Ocean. She went to the finest prep schools on the west coast. But then - betrayal shattered her world. Her father had an affair, emptied their bank account, and fled with his mistress. Evelyn and her mother were forced to leave her home on the hill and move to the Tenderloin District. Bruno Vic Vizcarra was born into a life of violence. His father, a respected San Francisco police officer, was murdered before Bruno’s seventh birthday. With the death of his father, Bruno’s mother turned to alcohol forcing him to grow up “Tenderloin Tough”. As he strives to hold the high morals of his father, the gangs are constantly attempting to pull him down. Evelyn and Bruno are students at Drake Middle School. The teachers are not the ones in charge at this school. It’s the gangs who rule here. Everyone else is just a pawn, a victim hoping to avoid the threatening eyes of someone trying to move up in the ranks. Red has long, crimson hair that he wears in a ponytail. He’s the only man in the Tenderloin that the gangs seem to fear. No one is quite sure why, but Red seems untouchable. He offers his protection to Evelyn, Bruno, and a handful of students from Drake Middle. No more will the Gangs of the Tenderloin bother them. All they have to do is join his gang. The teens think that they have found a savior, but Red could end up being something much worse?
