Angela Dawe

New year, new Finlay Donovan. She's got a list of resolutions and she's ready to bite the bullet.

But first, she owes the Russian mob one last favour - tracking down a rogue hitman with her nanny Vero, before the cops do. The small complication? This killer might be cop himself.

Enter distractingly hot Detective Nicholas Anthony, whose new citizens' police academy provides the perfect cover-up for Finlay to sleuth out the target - and some fresh ideas for her crime novel.

Between firearms and forensics training, family dramas and hands-on research with Detective Nick, can Finlay get to her edits and the hitman before time runs out?

Finlay and Vero need a girls' weekend away...

Some peace and quiet to negotiate with a dangerous loan shark, save Vero's childhood crush Javi, and find a stolen car. But Finlay's mother and ex-husband Steven are dead set on catching a ride to Atlantic City.

At their casino hotel, the trip takes a nosedive. Javi's kidnapper, Marco, won't negotiate, demanding to know the whereabouts of his missing nephew, Ike. Then Marco turns up dead - leaving Finlay and Vero as main suspects in his murder.

To get out of Atlantic City in one piece, they'll need to stay on top of one jealous ex-husband, one hot cop, two precocious kids, and yet another decomposing body.

All bets are off. This time, Finlay can't leave anything to chance.
