Full Service Blonde

A working girl is found dead in the desert. Can a calendar girl uncover the truth?

It's Christmastime in Sin City, and aspiring journalist Copper Black is about to discover that murder doesn't take a holiday in this award-winning prequel to Getting Off on Frank Sinatra.

When Copper meets Victoria McKimber, an outspoken prostitute working at one of Nevada's legal brothels, she lands the opportunity of a lifetime: an exclusive interview that could finally earn her a coveted byline at the Las Vegas Light. For a reporter stuck covering calendar events, it's the perfect chance to prove herself—and perhaps impress her long-distance boyfriend and visiting parents along the way.

But Copper's holiday plans are already complicated. Between Christmas shopping, newsroom deadlines, and eagerly anticipating a week with her boyfriend, she's also helping her brother, a civic-minded pastor working to establish a new center for the homeless. Then shocking news shatters her carefully balanced world: Victoria McKimber has been found murdered in the desert.

Determined to uncover the truth, Copper plunges into an investigation that exposes dangerous secrets and puts her squarely in the path of powerful enemies. As she struggles to balance family obligations, romance, and her journalistic ambitions, she discovers a sinister plot that threatens her brother's life.

With time running out and a killer still at large, Copper must follow the clues wherever they lead. Because in Las Vegas, some secrets are worth killing to keep.
