Description

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

From USA Today bestseller and Edgar Award nominee Elle Cosimano, comes Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun--the hilarious and heart-pounding next installment in the beloved Finlay Donovan series.

"Fresh, heartfelt and witty, Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun is a twisty page-turner, and its relatable heroine Finlay Donovan is irresistible!" --Janet Evanovich, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Stephanie Plum series

Dating. Diapers. And dodging bullets. Who said single moms can't have fun?

Finlay Donovan has been in messes before--after all, she's an author and single mom who's a pro at getting out bloodstains for rather unexpected reasons--but none quite like this. She and her nanny/partner-in-crime Vero accidentally destroyed a luxury car that they "borrowed" in the process of saving Finlay's ex-husband. The Russian mob handled her debt, but that means Finlay now owes them.

Still running the show from behind bars, mob boss Feliks has a task for Finlay: find a contract killer before the cops do. Problem is, the killer might be an officer. Luckily, hot cop Nick has started up a citizen's police academy, so Finlay has the perfect cover-up to sleuth out the real criminal as she does some "research" for her new novel. Nick is more than happy to get close to Finlay, but he's also getting dangerously close to the truth.

As Finlay and Vero dodge potential spies and juggle the daily trials of parenting, they can only hope they find the crooked cop before Feliks catches up with them--not to mention revealing Vero's mysterious past, Nick's growing interest in Finlay, and the threat of her looming book deadline.
