Plot:  When Casino Executive Owen McCombs discovers a dead gangster in the trunk of the Mayor’s car, he needs to find answers quick—not only to save the Mayor’s political career, but to keep his own freedom since Metro Homicide Detective Chastity Tempest Taggart, already pumped up from throwing her ex-husband into jail, is motivated to prove McCombs and the Mayor guilty!

Quotes: “I don’t know if Mayor Goodfella is believable. After all, I’m quiet and unassuming and I know for a fact we never had mobsters in Las Vegas.” Snarky comment from former Mayor Oscar B. Goodman and board director of the Mob Museum.
