β¦ Synopsis
A Bitch Called Hope is the poker term for drawing the queen-eight in Texas Hold βEm. Thereβs not enough luck in the world to build a winning hand with those cards, but itβs so tempting to try.
Meet Lennox Cooper. Sheβs a smart poker player, a smart detective, but sheβs got issues. A year ago her affair with a married cop got her fired from the Portland Police. Now sheβs trying to build a new life as a private investigator, but all sheβd landed so far are surveillance gigs.
The murder of a wealthy developer gives her a chance to reestablish herself as a homicide detective. During the course of the investigation she meets Mr. Right. Only problem, heβs on the short list of suspects. Lennox bets on her loverβs innocence. The odds arenβt much better than drawing A Bitch Called Hope.
