Diana Hansen-Young

   When Rang Jones turns in her gun and picks up her pen, she thought she'd have a quiet, creative new life as a coloring book illustrator. But things get complicated when a rival artist is murdered with Rang's colored pencils.

   To make matters worse, her old CIA boss calls her out of retirement for one last, dangerous job. But when she becomes the target of another assassin, well, maybe the safest place for Rang is in jail.

      After all, 25 to life gives her plenty of time to color.

   COLOR ME DEAD, a novella, is artist Diana Hansen-Young's first thriller in a series starring retired CIA assassin-turned-artist Rang Jones.
