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!

help only they can give.
A powerful attorney with a cut-throat reputation, Lizzie Fox
has just taken on a high-profile new client - Lily Flowers,
the Madam of a high-end bordello operating under the guise

The chips - a.k.a. the prominent Washington politicians who
frequent the bordello - are stacked against Lily and her
girls. But one phone call to the Sisterhood might just swing
the vote.
And soon, even the highest courts in the land will prove no
match for seven fearless friends determined to ensure that
real justice is served, Sisterhood style.
