Temple Barr is a sharp and sassy public relations ace in Las Vegas whose life is finally taking a turn for the better. Hard-nosed homicide lieutenant Carmen Molina is too busy chasing after her own ex-lover, rogue L.A. cop Rafi Nadir, to pursue Temples boyfriend, sexy magician Max Kinsella, and nobody Temple knows has been murdered... at least, not in the past few weeks. Temple takes this downtime as a signal she should buy a new pair of Jimmy Choo spike heels, and accept the job of planning a glitzy week of opening events for a trendy new furniture showroom. Dealing with temperamental décor mavens is no problem for a woman whos saved leopards from big game hunters, tracked killers through strip clubs, calmed the cantankerous owners of Las Vegass most glamorous hotel, and seen the ghost of Elvis-until the life of feng shui expert and media-crowned domestic dominatrix Amelia Wong is threatened. Suddenly Temple is neck deep in trouble... and bodies. And Temple has one more problem-one she doesnt even know about: her roommate Louie, and his maybe-daughter Louise, have decided to make sure that Temples search for a killer furniture arrangement doesnt mean curtains for her. Midnight Inc. Investigations, their PI firm, is on the case. The catch? Louie is Temples cat.
