Save me from dangerous men / S. A. Lelchuk, 326 pgs.
Nikki Griffin is a book lover but also in court mandated counseling for her anger issues. Anger that often leads to violence. She is pretty good at the violence. She owns a book store but has a side business "talking" to men who need to hear clearly that they should stop contacting their wives/girlfriends/partners that they have injured. Things are going well when a corporate CEO asks her to follow an employee suspected of stealing. Soon enough, she is in deep in a shadowy world she doesn't really understand. The employee ends up dead and it seems likely that the perps are trying to frame her, somehow. She does more digging and uncovers a bit of a corporate situation that may lead to international incidents. Can she outsmart her targets? Can she survive long enough to do so? I'm not sure this is a great plot but the writing had me on the edge of my seat. I wanted to see how things turned out...never once suspecting that Nikki wouldn't come out on top.
