Wealthy Las Vegas attorney Cosmo Cricket gets a walk-in client just at quitting time, and takes her case. She gives her "name du jour" as Lily Flowers, and tells him of other names she has gone by. She relates that although she isn't in trouble at the moment, she will be very soon, and wants to know if there is any way she can ward it off. Lily runs a brothel called the Happy Day Camp for Boys and Girls in Pahrump. All of her "ladies" are independent contractors, clean, healthy, and most of them very well off financially. The trouble Lily will be in didn't happen in Nevada where prostitution is legal, but in D. C. Her clients were all politicians and upset that the nation had elected the first woman president. The clients paid handsomely for her ladies to come to D. C. where prostitution is very illegal to "celebrate" twice -- once before the election, and once afterward. In order to humiliate the president, there have been leaks about this, and when this scandal goes public, the guilty men will get off with a slap on the wrist and some publicity they can brag about -- but Lily and her ladies will go to jail. Lily has closed the brothel and told her ladies to get themselves to a safe place. She herself will get lost when she finishes at Cosmo's office, and she leaves all of her documentation about this matter with him. That night Lily is in a horrible car accident and is killed.

After Cosmo reviews the documentation Lily left with him, he calls his D. C. attorney, Lizzie Fox, Cosmo's lover, and tells her that she needs to look at an interesting case he has, and then maybe enlist the Vigilantes to help out the president. Lizzie does just that, but the Vigilantes are still upset that the new president hasn't given them the pardon she has promised. However, to help out Lily's ladies and see justice brought to high ranking politicians, they will do this.

It seems strange to have an entire book without Charles leading the girls, but they seem to be doing just fine. Of course he is missed, and no one understands why he left the way he did. Without his leadership, the Vigilantes have gotten bolder and have made more enemies with authorities that they had before.

RAZOR SHARP is just that -- sharp, well paced, easy reading, and reader pleasing. When the Vigilantes go after those reprehensible politicians, you can just sit back and thoroughly enjoy another super and imaginative tale from Fern Michaels. This author constantly surprises and delights her many fans and new readers alike. Clever and exciting, RAZOR SHARP is Ms. Michaels in first-rate form!
