Grilling Martinis is a dirty spy thriller with action galore.
Attorney Hank Hart is recruited into a covert CIA operations unit on a lark. As she gets her bearings in a duplicitous world, she discovers she has skills the clandestine unit needs. While on a mission in the French Alps, one of Hank’s team members sets her sights on Hank, using the most lethal weapon of all—the striptease.
When a space shuttle is high-jacked while Hank is in the cockpit, her can-do-anything attitude is put to the test. With a lover’s encouragement, Hank rearranges her personal and professional goals to pursue her true passions.
