I've finished "One Kick" the 1st book in her Kick Lannigan series by Chelsea Cain.
Meet
Kick Lannigan. She’s twenty-one. She can pick any lock. She knows five
ways to kill you with a jacket. Get ready to fall in love.
From
the author of the critically acclaimed New York Times bestselling
Archie Sheridan/Gretchen Lowell thrillers: The first in a nail-biting
new series featuring Kick Lannigan, a young woman whose complicated past
has given her a very special skill set.
Famously
kidnapped at age six, Kick captured America’s hearts when she was
rescued five years later. Now, twenty-one, she finds herself
unexpectedly entangled in a missing child case that will put her talents
to the test.
Trained as a marksman, lock picker,
escape artist and bomb maker by her abductor, Kick could not return to
the life of the average young girl after her release. So, in lieu of
therapy, she mastered martial arts, boxing, and knife throwing; learned
how to escape from the trunk of a car, jimmy a pair of handcuffs, and
walk without making a sound — all before she was thirteen.
Kick
has trained herself to be safe. But then two children go missing in
three weeks, and an enigmatic and wealthy former weapons dealer
approaches her with a proposition. John Bishop uses his fortune and
contacts to track down missing children. Not only is he convinced Kick
can help recover the two children — he won’t take no for an answer.
With
lives hanging in the balance, Kick is set to be the crusader she has
always imagined herself. Little does she know that the answers she and
Bishop seek are hidden in one of the few places she doesn’t want to
navigate — the dark corners of her own mind.
A
heart-stopping, entertaining thrill ride, One Kick announces the arrival
of a blistering new series by a stunning talent in the thriller realm.
