The Loot

When Sergeant Charlie McCabe returns from fighting in Afghanistan, she hopes to leave the war behind. Instead, she comes home to a father whose gambling has put him in deep trouble with a violent loan shark. She finds work as a professional bodyguard, but to save her father, she needs to get serious cash together fast. However, her father isn't the only one who needs saving. When Charlie's first client--a wealthy executive with a shady past--narrowly escapes a bomb plot, Charlie's investigation leads her into the heart of Boston's criminal underworld. Along the way, she stumbles upon clues about a diamond heist gone wrong that's been unsolved for decades. With the clock ticking and chaos descending, Charlie sees a solution to both problems, but it won'tbe easy, and it won't be pretty. A normal" life may await Charlie on the other side of this mess, but part of her knows that the battle has just begun." -- Cover p.4
