Product Description
Temple Barr, publicist extraordinaire, is itching to bring off her most dangerous and exciting assignment, helping to launch an endeavor that many a Vegas showmen have dreamed of: a Las Vegas mob museum/casino.
While city powers-that-be hem and haw over doing an official project on the subject, the Family Fontana plans to connect two hotels with a "Chunnel of Crime" featuring an underground speakeasy, a fast "ride" through Vegas crime history by Gangsters custom limo service, and other fun attractions.
Temple's grand scheme to do a live "opening Bugsy Siegel's vault" media event built around a huge safe found buried underground produces a two-day-old body wearing white tie and tails.
With Temple's magician-counterterrorist ex-lover, Max, gone missing and her new fiance, radio shrink Matt Devine, in Chicago for week-long media gig, Temple must depend on "the Vegas Strip Irregulars," Midnight Louie and his posse of savvy alley cats, to solve murders old and new that smack of mobs vintage and all too contemporary. Success, or failure, could cost Temple her life, and all nine of Louie's. (edited by author) |

 Revitalizes the series August 14, 2010

4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I have read every one of the books in this series and was beginning to become tired and a bit confused as to where it was going. Nonetheless, I preordered this book as I'd decided to see this alphacat series to its completion. So glad I did as this entry brought the stories of the last few books together to the point that I can hardly wait until the next chapter - will the series move towards some more concrete verisimilitude? I'm definitely ready!
Great fun to read more about Louie and his family! August 28, 2010

Louie sure has his paws full dealing with one older, and one younger, member of his family... What a bunch! Reminds me of our 5 indoor cats... One of which is named Midnight Louie... The only name he would answer to!
fresh and amusing August 7, 2010

Public relations specialist Temple Barr is setting up a campaign for the Fontana family to take advantage of Las Vegas' mob roots. The "Chunnel of Crime" is a monorail within a museum connecting two hotels. During a promotional event, an underground vault is opened for the first time in years. Temple and her clients hope to find buried gangster loot instead of what was found in Capone's vault. Instead, they find something worse to accentuate the gangster past. Inside is the corpse of former magician Cosimo Sparks. Someone stabbed him and buried him. Temple accompanied by her pet owner Midnight Louie investigates; as does the Fontana family and the police.
At the same time, Temple and Louie make inquiries, her fiancé radio star Matt Devine is in Chicago. Her "dead" ex, magician/counterterrorist Max Kinsella, is in Ireland suffering from amnesia but cared for by Garry "Gandolph the Great" Randolph as he seeks information on the late orphan Kathleen "Kitty the Cutter" O'Connor.
In his twenty-second starring appearance (see Cat in a Topaz Tango), Midnight Louie remains fresh and amusing as if he was working with his human pet on their first case (see 1993's Catnap). The twisting story line is fast-paced as Temple relies on Midnight Louie's posse the Vegas Strip Irregulars to solve the homicides. This is a terrific entry as fans of the series will believe rascally lovable Louie has several lives left.

I love this series but I have to say that I prefer Matt to Max and since Matt is away and Max's recovery is the focus of this book, I did not enjoy it quite as much as some of the others. A number of story lines are left dangling so I am anxious to read the next one and will it be "violet" or "vermillion" or ?

Excellent entry in the Midnight Louie series. Carole Nelson Douglas has done it again and left me waiting in suspense for the next book, especially with the twist at the end. The only problem is the sleep I lose as I can't put one of her books down until I have read it cover to cover.
