Book Description
This “brutal and unflinching” novel of fleeting love in Sin City inspired the film starring Nicholas Cage and Elizabeth Shue (Jay McInerney, author of Bright Lights, Big City). John O’Brien’s debut novel, Leaving Las Vegas, is an emotionally wrenching story of a woman who embraces life and a man who rejects it; a powerful tale of hard luck, hard drinking, and a relationship of tenderness and destruction. An avowed alcoholic, Ben drinks away his family, friends, and, finally, his job. With deliberate resolve, he burns the remnants of his life and heads for Las Vegas to end it all in the last great binge of his hopeless life. On the Strip, he picks up Sera, a prostitute, in what might have become another excess in his self-destructive jag. Instead, their chance meeting becomes a respite on the road to oblivion as they form a bond that is as mysterious as it is immutable.

Book Description
This is a reissue of the novel inspired by Hunter S. Thompson's ether-fuelled, savage journey to the heart of the American Dream: We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold... And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, which was going about a hundred miles an hour with the top down to Las Vegas.

Book Description
Private Investigator Sid Street is on his way to Las Vegas. He's expecting a quiet, maybe boring, assignment as a bodyguard. Of course, performing guard duty is a job no self-respecting shamus wants to take on. But Sid's never been to Las Vegas, and this job is going to be extremely lucrative. The body belongs to Alva, the wise-beyond-her-years daughter of Irving Shapiro, owner of the Desert Fox Night Club and Casino. Only the beautiful Alva has a sharp tongue, and the hots for anything in pants, and soon the term bodyguard takes on a whole new meaning. And now the notorious mobster, Bugsy Siegel, wants the Desert Fox property to round out what will become the world-famous Pink Flamingo Casino and Hotel. Street soon finds himself right in the middle of 1940s Vegas-style mayhem, including tough-guy tactics, kidnapping, and murder. The 1940s of Ross Macdonald and Dashiell Hammett live again, thanks to Sid Street, Private Detective. Sidney Alfonso Street is a combination of tough-guy muscle and a sharp mind, along with a wise-guy attitude that allows him to see the humor in his investigations. Sid and his partner, Casey Reilly, will deal with it all -- blackmail, kidnapping and...murder. But don't ever call him Sidney, he hates that name. Wayne A Walter's detective-series character, Sid Street, takes us along into mystery and danger, but still makes us laugh.

It should be Liv’s dream career—she’s working closely with a bureau legend, Agent Streeter Pierce, as well as the exotic Agent Jack Linwood, with whom she shares a growing romance. Liv has proven to be an adept agent, and the whole office has been moved to a brand new, state-of-the-art facility in central Denver. And yet, doubt plagues her. Liv is tormented by the knowledge that her work with the FBI could endanger her extended family—and has almost resolved to leave the bureau as a result. Agent Streeter Pierce, who harbors an affection for Liv that sometimes transcends the professional, comes up with an unorthodox plan to keep her around: she can investigate a cold case that’s especially important to her, the kidnapping and murder of her ten-year-old niece, Brianna. Liv jumps at the chance, but her focus on finding Brianna’s killer is soon diluted. Piece by piece, the case reveals itself to be just one point in a harrowing series of murders. Spanning decades and the country, the web of crime Liv uncovers causes her to question everything—including the integrity of her own colleagues. www.sandrabrannan.com
