Amanda Charles was a showgirl with Grace Kelly good looks and lovely violet eyes that were wide open to both the golden glamour and sequined tawdriness of Reno. But like the dancers in A Chorus Line, she did it for love. She wasn't the tough party girl Detective MacLaughlin expected when he took over "The Showgirl Serial Killer" case. Instead she was an ice maiden, cold to his advances. If her heart pounded whenever he was near, he couldn't know it, for Amanda was an expert at hiding her emotions - until the night the killer wanted her. Now the bait in a deadly trap, Amanda would soon be drawn into a thrilling gambit, racing through the neon-lit streets toward ecstasy...or death.
