Real Dangerous People — K.W. Jeter

If the first Kim Oh book left you breathless, then sit back and buckle up. After Kim's hitman mentor meets his demise, she falls in with some real thugs. But proving herself to a pack of professional killers is easy compared to dealing with the social workers who want to take her little brother Donnie away from her. Having traded in her adding machine for a .357 Magnum, she has to find a way to stay alive in the hard world she lives in now, while also dealing with problems that can't be solved with a hollow-point slug �" as much as she'd like to.
Sly wit combines with gritty prose, as Kim Oh risks everything to advance up the ranks of her lethal career, from novice to ace enforcer.
Noted sf and fantasy author K. W. Jeter takes a new turn in the thriller genre, building on the dark, gritty moods of his previous science fiction and horror novels. Fans of mystery and suspense novels with smart, tough females taking the lead, from A Is for Alibi to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, will find a lot to like in the new Kim Oh Thriller series..
