Trouble seems to follow Maddie Springer wherever she goes.
First it's her embezzling (and married!) boyfriend. Now she
has a mysterious phone call from her estranged father of 26
years. Not only does he call, but the message is abruptly
ended by something that sounds suspiciously like a gunshot!
If that wasn't bad enough, everyone's favorite hot cop,
Jack Ramirez, promised he'd call -- and that was six weeks
ago!
Curious as to what her father might be up to and if he's
really in trouble, Maddie questions her mother about his
possible whereabouts. Giving Maddie only a vague hint that
he ran off to Vegas with a show girl named Lola, her mother
has nothing more to say on the subject. Asking for
Ramirez's help in the matter only gets Maddie several
strict warnings to "stay away from Vegas." Never letting a
man tell her what to do, Maddie packs her shortest skirts
and highest heels for a road trip to find her father.
Vegas has more in store for Maddie than what she's prepared
for -- not only does she find her father, she stumbles
across a dead transvestite showgirl with a possible mob
connection. Luckily, Ramirez is doing a little undercover
work (while still trying to get under Maddie's covers).
Will his smoldering looks and rock-hard six-pack get in the
way of her discovering the truth behind her father?
In this follow up to SPYING IN HIGH HEELS, Gemma
Halliday brings more silliness and flamboyance to the
mystery genre. Readers who crave fashion labels, slapstick-
like comedy and light mystery mixed with romance will love
this book.
L.A. shoe designer Maddie Springer hasn't seen her father
since he reportedly ran off to Las Vegas with a showgirl
named Lola. So she's shocked when he leaves a desperate plea
for help on her answering machine - ending in a loud bang.
Gunshot? Car backfire? Never one to leave her curiosity
unsatisfied, Maddie straps on her stilettos and, along with
her trigger-happy best friend, makes tracks for Sin City in
search of her MIA dad.
Maddie hits the jackpot, all right. She finds not only her
dad, but also a handful of aging drag queens, an organized
crime ring smuggling fake Prada pumps, and one relentless
killer. Plus, it seems the LAPD's sexiest cop is doing a
little Vegas moonlighting of his own. In a town where odds
are everything, Maddie bets it all on her ability to
out-step a vicious murderer. She just hopes her gamble pays
off… before her own luck runs out.
