Description
Fans of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum and Jana DeLeon's Miss Fortune will find a new character to love in Holly Hands!
Holly Hands. 29. Single mom. Disgraced, former boxing pro. Repo woman.
Repossessing Lamborghinis and other exotic toys from criminals is second-hat for Holly.
But finding a dead body—and solving a murder—is not.
Luckily, Holly has Lucky by her side—a neglected pit bull she found on the wrong side of a job, who refuses to leave her side—and who, like her, has nowhere to go but up.
Together, maybe they can crawl their way out of the urban hell of their bad slice of Baltimore, where coming home at night is even more dangerous than going to work. Maybe Holly can manage to get her young daughter the medical treatment she desperately needs, and manage to get her out of her dangerous public school and into the private school of her dreams. Just maybe, she can fall in love with that private school Dad from the other side of town and start a whole new life.
Or maybe not.
Life has never been easy for Holly. And if the past few days—and the dead body in her trunk—are any indication—it’s about to get a whole lot worse.
KNOCKOUT (A HOLLY HANDS MYSTERY) is book #1 in a riveting new mystery series, a page-turning thriller that grabs you from page one and does not let go. Get ready to find yourself reading all night, bleary-eyed, and falling madly in love with a new character who will fight her way into your heart.
Book #2 (SUCKER PUNCH) and Book #3 (BELOW THE BELT) in the series are also available.

5By rop2121I loved this book Great plot and great charactersGood story but…
3By BaxsquezThere were several instances where the character’s names were switched around. I had to read and reread to make sure I understood what the author was trying to communicate. Also, several words that were used incorrectly and didn’t make sense. But overall, the story was good and I will continue the series.Loved
5By viro1963This is a new author for me and I can say one to add to my library. I loved Holly and her daughter Olivia. Ms. Edith was a trip. Actually the whole cast of characters delighted me. The series is one I will enjoy with each repo she does. Even the dog has character.Knock Out
5By GHAllTheWayFantastic read, characters and storyline. A female fighter takes a fall, for a good reason. You just have to read all the excitement! This really keeps you reading and rooting. Highly recommend as a must readKnock Out

5By River Quest…but didn’t like Holly leaving her daughter alone. Love the dog Frank, but according to preview of second book, there’s now a dog called Lucky. So, where’s Frank?Hooked from the first page
5By darcosterIt's sad. It's desperate. It's dangerous. It's real. It's a mom making wrong choices for the right reasons. I love it!
