Now petite PR powerhouse Temple Barr and her faithful feline roommate, Midnight Louie, must sniff out clues to save the Crystal Phoenix hotel's reputation and any at-risk lives, including their own. Tabloid newspaperss went wild over the shocking disappearance of Black \u0026amp; White's two singing divas and flamboyant manager years earlier. The women made comebacks, but manager Cale Watson was never seen again. As murder stalks the rehearsing band members, Temple moves into the celebrity hotel suites to uncover sabotage, while Louie and the Vegas Cat Pack sniff out clues like, um, dogs. Meanwhile, Temple's ex, magician Max Kinsella, makes a shocking decision that will impact more lives than his. Deadly encounters and unexpected reunions force all the main characters into unforeseen loss and disclosure, the suspense leavened by Douglas's characteristic wit and heart. For sleuths and suspects, it all comes down to the black and white lies that destroy hopes, lives, and family.
