Cool Heat — Richter Watkins

SHE'S THE WOMAN THEY COULDN'T KILL, AND HE COULDN'T RESIST. Former investigator, Sydney Jesup is on a one-woman crusade against the most powerful and dangerous mogul in Nevada. He's a man whose powers stretch across the state, from Las Vegas to the mountain resort of Lake Tahoe, where he intends to create a new gambling mecca. But when an incompetent hit man attempts to kill Sydney in order to gain favor with the mogul, he botches the hit and all hell breaks loose. To clean up the mess a pro is brought in from New York. He's one of the top killers on the planet. His specialty is death-by-suicide. At first this seems like an easy job. That is until he discovers Sydney Jesup has come under the wing of Marco Cruz, a former border agent with his own dark history as a government operative. Suddenly, the cool laid-back vacation resort in the Sierra's starts turning up bodies . . . and the heat.
