With each passing second, her strength faded as her world turned darker, unable to move, to fight anymore. Her lifeless body fell into a heap at his feet, and he stood there for a brief moment, panting, not taking his eyes off her. “Excellent Story! First time I’ve read this author and Las Vegas Girl was excellent. Good story and well written with good supporting characters. Thought I had … supporting characters. Thought I had figured out who the culprit was, but I was totally wrong. Will definitely read more by this author.” – Mike, five-star Amazon review.
The crime: audacious
In a fashionable Las Vegas hotel, with hundreds of witnesses and countless video surveillance cameras watching, a young girl is brutally murdered in an audacious crime that shocks the entire city.
It looks like a relatively simple investigation for Detectives Laura Baxter and Jack Holt, but it soon proves to be anything of the sort, as the one vital piece of the jigsaw is missing; the killer.
The forensics: stupefying
Even with a crime-scene fingerprint that reveals more questions than answers, the persistent duo are undeterred and begin to make inroads into the life of the deceased. But what they discover is a complex web of lies and intrigue about her life that all seem to lead to an ambitious politician and a terrible secret.
The truth: shocking
And now that secret threatens Baxter and Holt’s lives too, as a message from beyond the grave reveals the shocking truth.
Will a connection with the victim’s distant past hold the key to catching her killer? And can they uncover them before they become victims themselves?
Two mavericks form an intriguing team. Baxter and Holt trust each other with their lives, just not with their darkest secrets.

Liked the story and the characters although I didn’t feel they were as well developed as they could have been.
This story really held my interest and if you are into a good mystery I recommend you read this.
I am looking forward to the next book in the series.
Loved this book. The characters are well-developed and have flaws as we all do. The dynamics between the two main characters is complicated but endearing. The action is exciting.
The worst I can say about this book is I wish it were 300 pages longer.
Another good book from Leslie Wolfe. Interesting characters and a good plot.
Good plot, moved quickly, easy to read.
This was my first Leslie Wolfe book, but it won’t be my last.

Did not see ending coming–great book!!

Fun to read
Thought the m a in character was on an adventure herself trying to get her life together and trying to figure out her partner. In the end she did well and no one was going to get past her.
Great read. I couldn’t put it down. You know you should be doing other things, but you want to find out what happened or what’s next!
A good pair of detectives who fit together nicely. Some surprising twists.

A well written crime procedural. Enjoyed it.
