"Lucky’s story is funny, fast-paced, exuberant and brilliantly realized."

Susan Wiggs, #1 New York Times bestselling author
"Watching Lucky navigate the dangerous shoals of the male-dominated world of gambling is a delight... Fans of J.A. Konrath’s Jack Daniels series will love this."

Library Journal (Starred Review)
"A whirlwind of a kooky crime novel, and readers will enjoy every minute of it. Coonts provides the perfect solution for readers waiting for the next Stephanie Plum book."

“Fantastic! Coonts combines her trademark strong characters and clever plotting with one of the freshest concepts in suspense–a heroine with early onset Alzheimer's who literally can't remember why everyone wants her dead. Buckle your seatbelt for a wild ride!”

Kate suffers from early-onset Alzheimer’s, and, among other things, she can’t remember anything that would help explain why there’s a dead man in her bathtub. Coonts moves the action along, and we happily ripped through this story—trying to figure out the circumstances of Kate’s involvement in so much threatening danger.”
