Synopsis
"Some people are ridiculously easy to kill..." Lily Marsden is a killer-for-hire, and Max Vernon has the unlucky fate of being Lily's next hit. But unlike Lily's history of clean and professional contract killings, this one is going to get messy.
Killing a man in an upscale Las Vegas hotel like the Tropical Bay is a sign of disrespect that will not go unpunished. It makes no difference who was killed, but rather where they were killed and how much money is being lost. Ken Staley, the owner of the hotel, sees fit to take care of this murder investigation the "Vegas way" and sends his right-hand man Loomis to take care of the mysterious Lily.
But Loomis isn't the only one looking for this woman; an ex-cop from Chicago has been trailing her for months. She's the key to clearing Joe Riley's tarnished record, the reason he had to take an early retirement in shame. Picking up her hot trail in Las Vegas, this is as close as he's ever gotten to her, and there's no way in hell he's backing off now, even if it means dodging the bullets of two psychotic murderous twins, a split-tongued lawyer, a thug for hire, and perhaps even love. And just to make Joe's life more of a living hell, he has to deal with two jaded gamblers who won't go away until they get retribution for blowing their winnings in a late night game of cards.
