Replica: A Vegas Crime Novel
When a high-rolling Vegas collector is found shot execution-style in his penthouse, Detective Pilot's investigation leads him into a world where celebrity obsession turns deadly.
Rodney Catcher dealt in forbidden memorabilia-the kind wealthy collectors pay millions for and never display. His beautiful young wife Penny claims she was across town when he died, but her story doesn't add up. Neither does the mysterious Brit found murdered in a luxury hotel suite two days later.
The connection between the victims runs deeper than rivalry. Both men possessed something connected to Princess Diana's final night in Paris-something worth killing for. As Pilot digs into Vegas's underground market for celebrity artifacts, he discovers that not everything valuable is authentic.
Penny Catcher is trapped in an abusive marriage to a man twice her age, desperate for a way out. But she's also smart, beautiful, and possibly guilty of double murder. When she asks Pilot to meet her alone, he knows he's crossing a line that could end his career.
In a city built on beautiful replicas, nothing is what it seems. The difference between authentic and fake, victim and perpetrator, justice and revenge, becomes dangerously blurred. And in the Nevada desert, where secrets go to die, Pilot must decide what he's willing to sacrifice to save a woman who may not deserve saving.
Some things are worth dying for. Others are worth killing for. The question is: which is which?
Replica is a crime thriller about desire, deception, and the deadly price of authenticity.
