LUCKY THE HARD WAY, A Lucky O'Toole Vegas Adventure Another fun romantic mystery As Christmases go, this one is proving a bit taxing for Lucky O'Toole, Vice President of Customer Relations for the Babylon, Las Vegas' most over-the-top Strip resort casino. While facing a murder indictment, Teddie, Lucky's former lover, has fled to Macau hot on the heels of the man everyone thinks is the real murderer, Irv Gittings. Lucky knows that if Irv finds Teddie first, Lucky will never see him again. Mr. Cho, a powerful figure in the Chinese underworld in Macau, is blackmailing the Big Boss with knowledge of gambling anomalies at the Babylon's property in Macau. If the Macanese authorities are alerted, the resulting fallout would crumble the financial foundation of Lucky's entire gambling empire. A trip to Macau is inevitable. With the opening of her own hotel less than a week away, and her engagement still very new, for Lucky the timing couldn't be worse. As she's pumping a local source for information about Mr. Cho, the lady is shot in front of her--Lucky narrowly taking the bullet. Lucky has no idea the bullet was really meant for her. With the help of her sidekick, Detective Romeo, Lucky must find Teddie, bring Irv Gittings and Mr. Cho to justice. But can Lucky beat them at their own game without getting caught in the trap? And will she be in time to rescue Teddie?
