Wisecracking reporter Dixie Flynn thinks fast and talks even faster―it’s the only way to survive the San Francisco crime beat. When she’s assigned to look into the death of her former lover, artist Diego Chino, Dixie’s instincts tell her there’s more behind the apparent suicide than the police are letting on.Dixie’s canvassing of the Bay Area art district reveals it to be a perfect picture of … picture of corruption, with a handsome art dealer and a reclusive patron in the foreground. After a romantic evening in Chinatown ends in a brush with death, Dixie is more determined than ever to expose the truth. But when a fire in her vicinity turns out to be more than just performance art, it’s clear the perpetrators would rather see Dixie dead than let her destroy their criminal masterpiece.
“Dixie Flynn may be the most kick-ass heroine ever created. Kudos to Grant for giving us the ultimate ‘girl power’ thriller!” — Tess Gerritsen, New York Times bestselling author of The Silent

Written with a huge amount of humor, extremely entertaining, looking forward to the next book.
I really enjoyed this. I read several books at a time and like to read books like this that are fun and light with insouciant characters. Gives me a break from Michener or Uris.
I love Dixie! Fast Mouth. Tough. Risk taker. Driven. Inspiring. Funny humor!
Enjoyed the main character’s smart mouth and wit, and the surprising revelation of who-done-it towards the end. But, the lengths she went to get her story were so dangerous as to be pretty stupid, I think, It was a fun read, anyway.
It was a fun, light read.
I really enjoyed the different characters, especially Dixie.
Fast reading, very interesting story and I loved the ending, which I actually thought was going to reveal!!!!
All in all I would strongly recommend this book and looking forward to reading this author again!!! thanks.
Terrific fun; several of a reporter’s worst days ever as she chases the cover story in San Francisco. Going to read more of these!
I never got past the second chapter.
The main character was witty, but figuring out who did it a few chapters in a mystery is never good. I like a mystery with better plot twists.
The characters were too complex. The heroine was too busy with catastrophes.
