In the bleak wasteland of the Nevada desert, not far from the sparkling 24-hour neon of the world famous Las Vegas Strip, the body of a once-beautiful showgirl is discovered, horribly mauled and mutilated. It is a horrendous crive, shocking in its brutality, excessive even for a city celebrated for its exces. Seasoned police veteran and Vegas native Detective Sergeant Romulus Poe has seen his fair share of depravity in thius mecca of glitz and vice. But there is something about this unfortunate young wo9man's death--and in a similar murder that is to follow soon after--that harkens back to an unsolved slaying and so-called suicide a quarter-century ago. The grim similarities, along with some frightening new possibilities, are leading Poe into a night world of dark shadows best left unilluminated . . .
