But nothing about her latest job makes any sense. A mentally disabled teenage girl in a wheelchair charged with murdering her own mother? And now she's vanished without a trace?
Jinx soon unearths a horrifying secret that may clear the missing teenager, but also points to a greater threat hunting them both. Racing against time, Jinx pushes her skills, her body, and her luck to the limit.
But can she find the girl before it's too late?

Customer Reviews
Chaser
Great reading. Lots of action
A quick, compelling, and (mostly) easy read
The central character, Jinx, faces some horrific transphobic abuse but she rises above it. The story itself was well-crafted and well-edited. The characters were flawed, believable, and wonderfully diverse.
The one thing that, for me, made me question whether I'd continue with the story was the violence. Not violence observed by the MC or against the MC, violent acts committed by the MC. Jinx defends herself with crippling or deadly force on multiple occasions – without any remorse or self-questioning. She's just, like, 'well, he was a bad guy, so too bad' or 'it was him or me, so too bad.'
Anyway, if you enjoy fast-paced thrillers and don't mind main characters who routinely carry and use guns, give this one a try.
