Former Vegas showgirl Martha Chainey is a statuesque WOC with a penchant for martial arts. Done with the spotlight and the forty-pound headdresses, Martha’s foregone the usual path of winding up arm candy and has taken up a career as a courier of off-the-books money. Cold, hard cash. When a former colleague (with a more legit line of work) asks her to discreetly recover 10 million dollars in stolen funds, of course Martha’s on the case. The mission takes her all over California and through more than a few mooks…but will her head-slamming sleuth skills be enough to recover the cash? Cold Hard Cash brings one of crime writer Gary Phillips' heroines, Martha Chainey, from novels to comics, with the creative team of Gary Phillips, Adriana Melo, John Kalisz, and Tom Napolitano. Collects issues #1-5 of Cold Hard Cash, originally released digitally by Comixology Originals, in print from ABLAZE for the first time.
