Suspenseful and fast-paced, this revamped short story will introduce you to crime in Las Vegas and to the people who fight that crime, Detective Aurora Morelli and Detective Kai Lawson. These are the same characters who star in the full-length sequel "Roll the Dice" and in the complete box collection The Vegas Series.
Forced to take on a new partner, after a serial rapist attacks her former one, annoys Aurora big time. Especially when he's the kind of cowboy hotshot she normally stays as far away from as possible. But… because they both want this creep more than anything else, they ignore the irritating explosions they set off from one another.
Finding and making the slimeball pay for his sickening crimes becomes their ultimate goal.
