Angel With A Bullet
2012
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 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

Devil With A Gun
2013
Dixie Flynn’s boss wants her to write a fluff story for Father’s Day. Dixie doesn’t do fluff. Investigating the origins of a cryptic classified ad, crime-beat journalist Dixie Flynn finds herself entering the seedy realm of a brutal Russian mobster. Before she knows it, Dixie’s simple missing-father story has turned into a violent battle of wills as she tries to help a woman escape a life and death struggle with the mob. For Dixie, the pen is mightier than the sword, but it’s going to take some handy work with a pistol if she wants this story to have a happy ending. The riveting sequel to ANGEL WITH A BULLET, “a fast-paced combination of violence and sex” (Kirkus Reviews), DEVIL WITH A GUN leads Dixie Flynn to an incendiary confrontation with the most ruthless killers in San Francisco. Praise: "Action, violence, wall-to-wall sleaze―it's all in a day's work in ballsy Dixie's second outing...hard to put down."―Kirkus Reviews "Chilling."―Publishers Weekly "Dixie Flynn may be the most kick-ass heroine ever created. Kudos to M.C. Grant for giving us the ultimate 'girl power' thriller."―Tess Gerritsen, New York Times bestselling author of The Silent Girl "This new tale offers a fun, ferocious, take-no-prisoners reporter who will not be stopped. A great suspense/thriller!"―Suspense Magazine

Beauty With A Bomb
2014
After witnessing the gruesome death of an immigrant, Dixie Flynn is on a mission to tell the woman's story. Acting on a tip, Dixie learns that young immigrants are vanishing...and they're not runaways. Hooking up with a group of Polish women who are hell-bent on finding their sisters and cousins, Dixie is all too willing to wield a gun and stalk the shadows where human traffickers ply their trade. But crossing paths with smugglers takes its toll, especially when the desire to rescue becomes a thirst for retribution that leaves blood on Dixie's hands. Praise: A Suspense Magazine Best Suspense/Thriller of 2014; Shortlisted for 2015 Shamus Award presented by The Private Eye Writers of America "Readers will cheer for this avenging less-than-angel as she goes after some very bad people." ―Publishers Weekly "Grant does what every writer hopes to do―entertain and enlighten at the same time." ―Suspense Magazine "Dixie Flynn may be the most kick-ass heroine ever created. Kudos to M.C. Grant for giving us the ultimate 'girl power' thriller."―Tess Gerritsen, New York Times bestselling author of The Silent Girl
