Puzzle Box — Jessie Chandler

Recently discharged from the military, Mikala Flynn is a woman on the edge―guilt-ridden, depressed, battling war wounds and personal demons. The world and the relationships as she knew them no longer exist. Now, the streets of New York, the bottle, and anonymous sex have become her solace.

In the midst of a fire escape bender, Flynn overhears her crazy-like-a-fox grandmother and her art-world cronies planning a daring theft of a valuable historical document. Eventually Flynn crashes the party and agrees to take on the heist herself. Along the way, Flynn runs into, both literally and figuratively, an alluring, mysterious thief who throws multiple wrenches into the works.

Can Flynn pull off the job without falling victim to vodka and lost love…and somehow begin to find herself along the way?
