Assignment Vegas: The Case of the Athlete's Assassin

Jae Lovejoy Mystery #2

by Lucey Phillips

A feature on Olympian and Las Vegas star McKenna Johnson could be one of the biggest stories of Jae Lovejoy’s career . . . but only if McKenna stays alive.

McKenna Johnson is a fiercely private athlete. As a young gymnast, she was an Olympic gold medalist. But when she approached adulthood, a drug and alcohol problem destroyed her career.

Now McKenna’s sober, and back in the spotlight, with a starring role in a water-themed acrobatics show on the Vegas Strip. She normally shuns any publicity, but Jae has managed to strike up a rapport with the athlete.

Soon after Jae and photographer Colin Bloom arrive in Las Vegas, they realize something’s not right. A series of strange accidents and near-misses threatening McKenna’s life are pointing to foul play. And before long, Jae becomes a target too.

Can Jae and Colin save McKenna and finish this assignment? Read Assignment Vegas: The Case of the Athlete’s Assassin and find out today!

Adorable!

Charming and fun! After reading Assignment Denver, I had to get Lucey Phillips next book. An enjoyable read! I will her next book also. A few typos, but that never bothers me. As long as I enjoy the characters and I have a smile on my face when I finish the book, I'm a fan.
