Betty Hitchens' mother, affectionately known as Grandma Galloway, is in town for a visit. Her granddaughter, Brianna, is curious about her family tree and has questions concerning relatives no one wants to talk about, specifically a long lost aunt. But Grandma is reluctant to talk. Many years earlier, her younger daughter led a moderately respectable life. Then one day, she met a man and everything changed.
In the mid 1990's, Leo Nichols found himself tired of scratching out a living. After making off with a large sum of money from a local Las Vegas casino, the software engineer planned to start over in style. His plans fell apart, however, when a mysterious woman appeared on the scene just as he was about to flee the country. Can he figure out a way to eat his cake and have it too?
Brianna finds out what grandma was like before she was grandma, and discovers that not everything that happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, in the latest installment of the Yellow Rose Cozy Mystery series.
