Northtown: Land and Death in Las Vegas

By Kerry Glusovich

Prominent architect Robert May is found dead in a Las Vegas hotel room under suspicious circumstances. His company is one of four competing for a shot at the largest federal land swap in the history of the United States - worth over a billion dollars. Columnist Ned Deegan thinks it's fishy - the death and the land deal. Someone didn't like that column. His editor, Joe Farrell warned Ned he's a target. Joe was right. He almost bought it when he was t-boned on the Strip. Who has the most to gain in this gambling mecca mystery? The most powerful U.S. Senator in Washington is holding the cards, and the hand of one contender, George Geyser, owner of Pinnacle, one of the largest corporations on the planet. There is also a visionary casino mogul and powerful mafia don ready to use any means necessary to obtain the land. Columnist Ned Deegan and Paul Deal, the casino mogul are old friends. They have at least one thing in common, their affection for sexy singer Genna Webb, one of the hottest entertainers in show business. Chief of detectives and raging alcoholic Harley Price is assigned the case. On good days, he is also a Mormon Elder and secret security agent for Pinnacle. Ned calls Allen Boberian, his best friend and lawyer for help. Robert May was an enigma. A jokester. He enjoyed telling friends he may be planning his own death. As a gag. A hoot. Was he murdered? Suicide? Only the medical examiner will know, or will he?
