Lily Marsden, a professional andextremely successful stone cold killer, is hired to kill rich businessman Max Vernon. She picks him up while he's spending some of his cash gambling in Las Vegas' Tropical Bay casino resort. It's a clean, well-planned hit which she carries out with style and panache, as usual, and she heads off home for a well-earned rest. She's covered her trail well but, unfortunately for her, as well as the cops, this time there are a few extra people on her trail - the owner of the Tropical Bay is not very happy about his upscale resort being used as the venue for a hit, Max Vernon's two brothers (who share the family trait of just the one large eyebrow) want to avenge their brother's death, and ex-cop Joe Riley is after Lily because of an earlier hit which cost him his job.

Muddy the waters a little with two inept gamblers who are determined that

Joe's going to give them back the money he took off them in a poker game, a dodgy lawyer with a taste for Hostess Twinkies, and a wonderful supporting cast of weirdos, misfits and no-hopers. Set it all in larger than life Las Vegas, stir well and wait for the bullets to fly. Sit back and prepare to be entertained as Steve Brewer outdoes himself with this fast paced, funny book, packed with sparkling dialogue and witty one-liners. You're never quite sure exactly who you should be rooting for in this wonderfully entertaining caper. If this doesn't get made into a movie I'll eat my Las Vegas showgirl outfit (and, let me tell you, that's a helluva lot of sequins to swallow).
