Beauty with a Bomb

Part of the Dixie Flynn Mystery series

After witnessing the gruesome death of an immigrant, Dixie Flynn is on a mission to tell the woman's story. Acting on a tip, Dixie learns that young immigrants are vanishing...and they're not runaways. Hooking up with a group of Polish women who are hell-bent on finding their sisters and cousins, Dixie is all too willing to wield a gun and stalk the shadows where human traffickers ply their trade. But crossing paths with smugglers takes its toll, especially when the desire to rescue becomes a thirst for retribution that leaves blood on Dixie's hands.
