About this ebook
Marble Grant and her partner Sim stumble on a beautiful, drop-dead sexy woman moments before she actually drops dead.
That sort of kills all the fun in the moment.
While the Fremont Street Experience swirls around the three ghosts, Marble works to figure out why the woman's ride in a bright-light tunnel seemed late.
No telling what might happen when Marble Grant and Sim stride to the rescue.

A Lady In Heat
A Marble Grant Story
From where I stood off to one side of the Fremont Street Experience, leaning against the stone wall of the Golden Nugget Casino, I could watch a woman with long blonde hair, a tight white blouse, jeans, and expensive tennis shoes.
She was hot, not temperature hot, since the night was a comfortable seventy degrees. I mean drop-dead sexy hot. Long blonde hair, huge brown eyes, and a smile that could give a dead man an erection.
And she looked drunk.
Staggering drunk, in a sexy, hot way.
