Slim to None

After losing custody of her young son, security specialist Hannah Nicks has one goal: earn enough money to retire and raise her child. The fastest way to accomplish that is to take on a covert, privately funded mission in the Middle East, and in a war fueled more by money than morality, Hannah is on only one side—her own. When the opportunity arises to do a little extra business, rescuing a kidnapped American doctor and retrieving a handsome reward, Hannah figures Why not? But when the mission ends badly, she discovers the price of her risks: the loss of a young ally, the reward money and her reputation. Two years later, Hannah is back in Los Angeles, no closer to gaining custody, more uncertain of her fitness as a mother and even less in demand for employment. But when a chance encounter leads to the man who ruined her mission in Iraq, Hannah plans to even the score. Now she's got another shot at unraveling a tangled web of lies and treachery that, she soon discovers, could drag America to its knees. Her only ally is a cop who has burned a few too many bridges himself, a man who understands that the odds are always better when you have nothing left to lose.

Between jobs and feeling financially strapped, gun-for-hire Hannah Nicks takes on an assignment that promises easy money and an all-expenses-paid vacation on the Mexican Riviera. Hired by her sister’s friend, a gallery owner, Hannah sets out to transport a minor artist’s painting to its buyer in Puerto Vallarta. But when Hannah arrives at the delivery point, she finds the tail end of a massacre and is nearly killed herself. She hides the painting, fearing it is not a meal ticket but a death warrant, and flees back to the States. But it only gets worse for her in L.A. The gallery owner has been killed, and Hannah is named as the murder suspect. In order to prove her innocence, she must hunt down the person who framed herand uncover the secret of a deadly work of art.
