Temple Barr is a sharp and sassy public relations ace in
Las Vegas whose life is finally taking a turn for the
better. Hard-nosed homicide lieutenant Carmen Molina is
too
busy chasing after her own ex-lover, rogue L.A. cop Rafi
Nadir, to pursue Temple's boyfriend, sexy magician Max
Kinsella, and nobody Temple knows has been murdered... at
least, not in the past few weeks. Temple takes this downtime as a signal she should buy a
new
pair of Jimmy Choo spike heels, and accept the job of
planning a glitzy week of opening events for a trendy new
furniture showroom. Dealing with temperamental décor
mavens
is no problem for a woman who's saved leopards from big
game hunters, tracked killers through strip clubs, calmed
the cantankerous owners of Las Vegas's most glamorous
hotel, and seen the ghost of Elvis-until the life of feng
shui expert and media-crowned domestic dominatrix Amelia
Wong is threatened. Suddenly Temple is neck deep in
trouble... and bodies. And Temple has one more problem-one she doesn't even know
about: her roommate Louie, and his maybe-daughter Louise,
have decided to make sure that Temple's search for a
killer
furniture arrangement doesn't mean curtains for her.
Midnight Inc. Investigations, their PI firm, is on the
case. The catch? Louie is Temple's cat.
