Wake Me When It's Over - Hardcover

Born and raised in the city that America forgot, Charlene “Charlie” Mack has built a highly respected private investigations firm through hard work, smart choices, and relentless ambition―and a crack team of investigators who are highly skilled and trustworthy bolsters her successes. When Charlie and her team are asked to take on a seemingly impossible task―to identify and thwart an attack on the upcoming Detroit Auto Show―it takes a $100K incentive and the help of a dozen freelancers for Charlie and her crew to unravel a twisted plot that runs through several countries and even more bank accounts. But finding out who’s behind the intricate plot only solves half the problem, because Charlie is drawn into a deadly game of cat-and-mouse as she tries to locate dozens of hidden bombs before they can be detonated in an arena full of hundreds of people.
