Mystery
PI Helen McCorkendale's childhood friend, Jimmy Scanlan, has
just opened January, the most lavish casino and hotel resort
in Vegas. After attending the grand opening, Helen returns
to New York and encourages her magazine editor friend,
Laurel Imperiole to create a get-away contest for readers
offering a weekend at the hotel as the grand prize. The
winner, Dawn Chapman, a jewelry store employee from
Cincinnati, denies entering the contest and initially
refuses the trip. Finally persuaded by Laurel to accept, she
arrives at the hotel and nearly faints when she passes the
hotel's elite meeting rooms where the International Diamond
Dealers Consortium is holding its annual meeting. She
insists on returning home immediately. Suspicious of her behavior, Jimmy visits her suite to
encourage her to attend the Saturday afternoon pool party,
saying she can leave on his private jet the next day. Later
in the afternoon, he finds Chapman's dead body by the pool.
She's been murdered--an unusual double poisoning by cyanide
and diamond dust. Dawn Chapman was not who she appeared to be, and therein
lies a mystery. But to Helen and Laurel, the main task is to
take Jimmy Scanlon off the suspect list and clear his name.
Will their luck hold? Or will it be a cr*ap shoot, as they
roll the dice and do it 'the hard way,' going for doubles
when the odds are against them. Losing may mean losing their
lives.
