Synopsis

Shopgirl. Telephone operator. Lady's companion. Smashingly good secretary. All jobs that Dorothy Lundegaard possesses the skills to excel at. And even at the tail end of the Great Depression in St. Paul, Minnesota, all jobs that Dottie could secure for herself.
 
But, alas, none appeal to her. Her true calling, her vocation, remains the family business. She longs to follow in her father's private detective footsteps. Or at least assist her brother John as he strives to revive the agency after the death of their father.
 
She gets her chance when her brother is presented with the case of a kidnapped girl. A very resourceful girl. The sort of girl that reminds Dottie of herself at that age.
 
Dottie's insights might prove just the thing her brother needs to get that girl home safe.
 
"A Resourceful Girl," the first short story in the Dorothy Lundegaard Mysteries.

    "A masterful cocktail of compelling heroes, ruthless adversaries, and the gritty backdrop of cartel-controlled Mexico." - bestselling author Andrew Warren 
    Dane Winter is a soldier. A machine built for death. And he’s out for revenge. 
    Former US Marine Dane Winter has spent years leading a highly-skilled team of operatives for ‘Redwind’- a global private security conglomerate. His latest assignment in Mexico should have been routine: safeguard a high-ranking official against a potential attack from a local drug cartel. But nothing can prepare him for the slaughter that unfolds. 
    When the operation spirals into chaos, Dane Winter is left wounded and cut off from everything he knows. Rescued by Maria Pineda, a courageous local who risks everything to smuggle him to safety, the pair must go off-grid to survive.
