Publisher Description

Jim Snow and his sister Karen have never been very close. In fact, they haven’t seen each other since their mother’s funeral two years ago, despite living just three miles apart. But then Snow gets a panicked phone call from Karen telling him that her estranged husband has been murdered and she is the number-one suspect. Snow agrees to help, seeing as he’s the only family she has left. Plus he is a Las Vegas homicide detective—or at least, he was until he quit the force to become a full-time poker player. But while his crime-fighting skills may be a little rusty, even he has to admit Karen is a likely suspect. She stands to collect on her dead husband’s life insurance, which is quite the coincidence considering she’s been living on her first two husbands’ insurance for years. Snow isn’t sure whether or not his sister is innocent, and there’s only one way to find out. He joins forces with feisty cocktail waitress-turned-cop Alice James and together they set out amidst the glittering lights of Vegas to solve this witty and entertaining whodunit.

"This was a good, quick read. I got it free for my Kindle so I figured I had little to lose. I was hooked right away. It was simple to follow, not too many characters, and there was a very nice surprise ending that I just didn't see coming!"

Quotes

  • “Writing with a unique combination of compassion and grit, Rex Kusler brings humor and humanity to a world of dashed dreams and desperate aspirations. With the confidence of a master storyteller, Kusler spins a compelling whodunit, with delightfully deadpan dialogue, and an engaging cast of eccentrics—introspective cops, philosophical tramps, and a retired ace detective, Jim Snow, who, despite weaknesses for poker and pretty faces, still gambles on his fellow man. Mystery readers will want at least a dozen more books about this post-modern recession-era hero.

    — Ruth Francisco, author of Good Morning, Darkness

    " It was a quick read, but ... it was hard to empathize with any of the lead characters. and the actual murder investigation seemed sort of by-the-numbers. maybe the next one is better? i doubt i'll bother to find out. "

    " I bought this on sale and enjoyed it enough to continue the series if presented with the option, but not to seek them out on my own. I enjoyed how Kusler worked in the flavor of Vegas through the anecdotes of the ancillary characters but I also see how that could get annoying over time. "
