The Las Vegas Mayoral race is heating up, and the incumbent doesnβt have a prayer. Wealthy real estate speculator Nick Campenelli, who wants to legalize prostitution in Clark County, and former pastor Louis St. Louis, running on a 'clean-up-Vegas-by-getting-rid-of-the-whores' platform, are the front runners.
Theyβre also front runners on the suspect list for a string of murders. Kennedy OβBrien, four-year detective with cop blood running in her veins, and her partner Wilder βWild Thingβ James, a veteran, are determined to find the man whoβs murdering prostitutes who work the wrong side of the street, and they donβt care how important or politically active he is.
The killer is a man with a mission. He stalks the women before he kills them, leaving a βBEFOREβ photo on their bodies, and sending an βAFTERβ shot to the local news hound. Ed Hershey, an aging newscaster with just the right amount of grey in his hair, is determined to turn this story into a network gig, and his interference, along with the LVTVS legal team, are making Kennedy and Wilder look bad. Campenelliβs good looks and charm, and St. Louisβ vitriolic hatred of prostitutes are muddying the waters too, and now the killer seems to have taken a liking to Kennedy.
So the big question remains. Can she get him before he gets her?
