Summary

"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. 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. After she and her nanny/partner-in-crime Vero accidentally destroyed a luxury car that they may have "borrowed" in the process of saving the life of Finlay's ex-husband, the Russian mob got her out of debt. But now Finlay 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.

Through firearm training and forensic classes (and some hands-on research with the tempting detective), Finlay and Vero have the perfect cover-up to sleuth out the real criminal and free themselves from the mob's clutches-all the while dodging spies, confronting Vero's past, and juggling the daily trials of parenthood"--
