The lavish hotels and the sham of wholesome fun may soothe
the tourists, but sex and greed still fuel this town, and
bad guys still abound. And Midnight Louie, the feline Sam
Spade has his paws full keeping those he loves safe
.
This time Midnight Louie treads the lurid side of
mystery's mean streets when a call girl named Vassar is
found lying dead on the neon ceiling above a Las Vegas
casino. Suicide or homicide? If straight-arrow radio
shrink Matt Devine, the man most likely to have been
Vassar's unlikely last client, is charged for Vassar's
murder, everyone Louie knows is an accessory to the
crime . . . except for his ever-loving roommate, PR whiz
Temple Barr, who has been kept in the dark by both friends
and enemies.
To save Matt's future, Temple will have to crack the cover-
up with the unsuspected help of Midnight Inc.
Investigations, now including a junior partner: Louie's
maybe-daughter, Midnight Louise. Meanwhile, a hot new club
in town, Neon Nightmare, has links to the mysterious
Synth, a sinister association of magicians that may lie
behind the string of unsolved deaths that have haunted
Louie Company for months.
And with the psychotic stalker, Kitty the Cutter, still
prowling, death is definitely in the cards for someone
Temple knows very well, and not even Louie may be able to
stop it.
