Description
Dixie Flynn's boss wants her to write a fluff story for Father's Day. Dixie doesn't do fluff. Investigating the origins of a cryptic classified ad, crime-beat journalist Dixie Flynn finds herself entering the seedy realm of a brutal Russian mobster. Before she knows it, Dixie's simple missing-father story has turned into a violent battle of wills as she tries to help a woman escape a life and death struggle with the mob. For Dixie, the pen is mightier than the sword, but it's going to take some handy work with a pistol if she wants this story to have a happy ending.
The riveting sequel to Angel with a Bullet, "a fast-paced combination of violence and sex," Kirkus Reviews, Devil with a Gun leads Dixie Flynn to an incendiary confrontation with the most ruthless killers in San Francisco.
