THIEVES GET RICH, SAINTS GET SHOT is the intriguing if unwieldy title of Jodi Compton’s fourth novel. It marks the return of Hailey Cain, her compelling and somewhat unlikely anti-hero who was first introduced in HAILEY’S WAR. Cain is a West Point dropout --- actually, make that a force out. While in the midst of her training, Cain was diagnosed with a tiny but progressive brain tumor, the immediate effect of which makes her impervious to fear. Combine that with significant aptitude and training in the martial arts, and you have a formidable adversary on any field of battle. Read More
