<b>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. </b><br /><br /><b> “Excellent Story! </b>First time I've read this author and <b><i>Las Vegas Girl </i>was excellent. </b>Good story and well written with good supporting characters.

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. <br /><br /><b>The truth: shocking</b><br /><br />And now that secret threatens Baxter and Holt’s lives too, as a message from beyond the grave reveals the shocking truth. <br /><br />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? <br /><br /><br /><b><i>Two mavericks form an intriguing team. Baxter and Holt trust each other with their lives, just not with their darkest secrets. </i></b><br /><br /><h2><b>Praise for <i>Las Vegas Girl</i></b></h2><br /> <i>“Las Vegas Girl</i> is a <b>well written, captivating, psychological thriller</b> with enough twists and turns to satisfy even the most demanding reader.” <br /><br />“Las Vegas homicide detectives <b>Laura Baxter and Jack Holt are well paired, </b> each willing to do whatever is necessary to <b>find justice.” </b> <br /><br /> “Wolfe is <b>a master storyteller, </b> and this is a compelling tale with flawed protagonists.” <br /><br /><br /><b> “Thrilling</b> to the end and so well developed and written, wished it could have gone on for 100 more pages.” <br /><br /><b>“Outstanding! </b> I really enjoyed this murder mystery.” <br /><br />“The <b>best </b>I’ve read this year.
