Description: "The hunky casino dealer our heroine meets in Las Vegas turns around and marries her stepsister for money, but she goes ahead and has an affair with him anyway. And now she finds out a Bible-quoting P.I. suspects him of two brutal murders. What would you do? Help him bribe the detective? Turn him in to the cops? Or would you run like hell to your relatives in Newport before he decides to cut your throat? These are the questions socialite Helena Swann will have to answer. Sparks fly in this hard-boiled saga when our mercenary beauty from San Francisco finds herself caught between a rich fiance and a murderous, but charming conman named Samson Porter - a.k.a. Porkpie"--Page 4 of cover.
