Riot Act (Charlie Fox Series #2) in Bloomington, MN

A self-defence expert with a motorbike and an attitude, Charlie Fox doesn't need to go looking for trouble. It generally finds her. Housesitting for a friend seemed easy at first but the house is in the Lavender Garden Estate. Teenage gangs are running riot and desperate neighbours have employed a ruthless security firm to apply rough justice. The situation gets uglier when a young Asian boy is fatally wounded in what appears to be a racially motivated shooting. Caught in the middle of an urban battlefield, Charlie's more than able to take care of herself but then she comes face to face with a spectre from her army past. Lives will depend on Charlie working out just who she can really trust...
