Strike Me Down

Strike Me Down by Mindy Mejia, 335 pages

Forensic accountant Nora is calm, quiet, and all business when the billion-dollar kickboxing company Strike hires her team to track down a missing $20 million. This is Nora's job, and while Strike gives her just a few days instead of the months she's used to, she's sure she can at least figure out where the missing money went. But when Nora's idol and Strike co-founder Logan Russo comes under suspicion, there's suddenly a lot more on the line, and Nora's not sure if she'll be able to maintain her stiff upper lip.

Accounting and kickboxing do not seem like they would work together to make a taut thriller, but somehow Mejia does that in Strike Me Down. It's suspenseful, it's twisty, and it's a heck of a lot of fun, even if you don't like accounting or kickboxing. Well worth a read.
