About this ebook

To Save An Innocent Woman, She Must Break All The Rules

Bounty hunter Jinx Ballou’s world is spiraling down the drain. Racked with grief and on a reckless, drunken bender, she has alienated herself from everyone she loves. Only when she’s hired to apprehend a fugitive who is a fellow transgender woman does she pull her act together.

After learning her fugitive is being framed by a legal system hostile to trans women, Jinx joins the woman’s biker gang to prove her innocence. But doing so not only further jeopardizes Jinx’s flagging career, but puts her and the bikers in a desperate fight to the death with the actual killer.

Can Jinx prove the woman's innocence while also salvaging what's left of her career?

A Broken Woman is the third book in the Jinx Ballou Bounty Hunter crime thriller series. If you enjoy page-turning suspense, shocking plot twists, and crime novels where trans women are the heroes rather than the villains, you’ll love Dharma Kelleher’s exciting thrill-ride.

Buy A Broken Woman and join Jinx on this thrill-a-minute ride through Arizona's mean streets and unforgiving desert.

“Dharma Kelleher’s A Broken Woman delivers a high-octane, blood-pumping story of justice, any way it can be had. Jinx Ballou is three parts ticking explosive, one part tender protector of friends and all those who deserve better than what they’ve been handed.”

– Lori Rader-Day, Anthony Award-winning author of The Day I Died

“I love a book where crisis after crisis are thrown at the hero and you’ve got that in spades with the latest Jinx Ballou thriller, A Broken Woman.”

– Simon Wood, USA TODAY Bestselling Author of The One That Got Away

“Dharma Kelleher delivers bad-ass blue-collar crime fiction with a snappy sense of humor and a lot of heart. The struggles of Jinx Ballou as she works the periphery of the imperfect criminal justice system make for compelling reading and top-notch entertainment.”

– Thomas Pluck, Anthony-finalist author of Bad Boy Boogie

” A Broken Woman comes swinging out the gates and Kelleher delivers in spades. Engrossing, taut, and kick-your-teeth-in exciting, A Broken Woman needs to be on top of your to-read pile.”

– Angel Luis Colon author of Hell Chose Me

Ratings and reviews

Jinx Ballou is a bounty hunter and also has a PI license. She is mourning the apparent death of her fiance, Conor. Jinx is drinking heavily and not eating. She gets fired from the only bounty hunter company that will hire her. But she gets an offer to hunt a transgender female that was locked up in an all male prison for a murder she did not commit. She was raped several times. Out on bail and in hiding. Many have tried to bring her in, but failed. Jinx finds her, but is out numbered by a female biker gang that is hiding her. Jinx makes a deal to find the real killer. There is a lot of action in this page turner. All of the books in this series are great reads.
