As the Chief Problem Solver for the Babylon, Las Vegas's most over-the-top destination, mischief is in her job description, but murder? Not so much... until recently....
Facing a murder indictment, Lucky's first love, Teddie, has flown to Macau on the heels of the real killer.
A powerful figure in the Macanse underworld has Lucky's father and his empire over a barrel.
Lucky's own hotel is days away from opening.
And her engagement is very new.
So, there's only one thing for Lucky to do...
Take a trip.
Macau.

AN INTERVIEW WITH DEBORAH COONTS
WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO WRITE HUMOR?
I'm not sure I decided to add snark to the Lucky, books, specifically to Lucky's own voice, it just happened that way. When I was a kid, my mouth always got me into trouble. Finally, I've found a way to harness the sarcasm for the Forces of Good--or at least in a way not to anger my grandmother and to make people laugh, hopefully out loud. When Lucky started talking to me, she had a strong dose of sass in her.
YOUR LUCKY BOOKS ARE HARD TO CATEGORIZE. IS THAT BY DESIGN?
When I set out to write Wanna Get Lucky?, I knew I wanted to write a romp through Las Vegas. I had the characters and the setting but no real understanding of narrative drive. So, I threw a young woman out of a tour helicopter into the middle of the Pirate Show and let the story unfold. A bit of murder to keep the plot moving, some wisecracking and Vegas mischief to make you laugh, and some romance to keep it interesting. So it became a female detective romantic mystery series. A bit of a mash up, but it works.
