Curiosity is lying in wait for every secret.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Las Vegas Gazette crime columnist Maggie Hall, through clever journalistic questioning or blind bumbling, follows a bribery scandal that leads to two murders and attempts on her own life. A native Las Vegan and combination of Luella Parsons, Scarlett OHara, and Typhoid Mary, Maggie is well suited for her profession.

When people go missing and dead bodies start to pile up, Maggie realizes shes on the trail of the hottest story of her career. Shes also on the trail of two of the hottest men shes ever met. Rick Steele, an investigative reporter at the Gazette, works the hard news angles of the murder case while managing to stay out of Maggies romantic clutches. Coop Demarco, however, one of the FBI agents assigned to the case, seems a far more willing partner.
