Summary
Not content fudging numbers at a small-town Vegas nightclub, an unnamed 22-year-old woman befriends Gloria Denton, the still beautiful, infamous lady mobster. After she learns the ropes, `Gloria's girl` makes more money than she ever imagined and is dressing and acting the part of a tough-talking queenpin. Gloria offers her protection as long as her girl is careful, doesn't get made, and stays away from the wrong people. Too bad her girl falls for a guy who has `wrong people` written all over him.
Critique
A smart and sexy crime noir novel. This quick read is violent and deadly and will leave you breathless. Highly recommend for fans of hard-boiled crime fiction.
