From Publishers Weekly: "Investigator Kat Colorado jets to Las Vegas to check on a fortune owed to her friend Charity Collins by Charity's ex-husband, Sam. Kat proves that Sam's story of losing the money at the casinos is a fraud, but before she confronts him, he dies. "The story successfully combines stark terrors, comedy and even pathos," judged PW. Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.

-- Washington Post Book World: "Karen Kijewski has a gift."

Book Description: "Kat Colorado: A thirty-something California bartender-turned-P.I.--a curious lady with nine lives, nerves of iron. . .and a passion for justice."

"When Sam, the estranged, deadbeat husband of nationally known advice columnist Charity Collins, ran off to Vegas with $200,000 of their money, Charity turned to Kat Colortado for help. Now Sam's twisted trail of glitz and grime is leading the inquisitively lady P.I. through dangerous territory--and into a rats' nest of sleazy deals, heavy-hitting mobsters and contract killings. But Kat's got a job to do and she's not about to walkaway--even though prowling the low liife has put her at the top of a syndicate hit list."
