Making sure a multimillion-dollar operation like the Montecito runs smoothly is a challenge on a good day. When the casino is overrun by a Western trade show called Stampede!, that job gets even tougher. Complicating matters is an imminent visit by a German business magnate, who will be making a televised speech from the Montecito that could have far-reaching political and economic ramifications. So while Mike Cannon is tapped to investigate the theft of some very...precious...merchandise from the Stampede! floor, Ed and Danny have their hands full coordinating safety measures with the German's private security force and the Secret Service. And when Danny uncovers the blueprint for what appears to be an assassination plan, the Montecito team must race to prevent a lethal incident of international proportions.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Book,
By Bruce "Bruce" (Pittsburgh, Pa USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sleight of Hand: Las Vegas (Mass Market Paperback)
I love the "Las Vegas" show! The books published between seasons was a great idea. Keeps the momentum going until the new season starts. The book arrived in good condition. It also arrived quickly. Price was right.
Too bad the Network screwed things up and cancelled the show! I will be sure to give them the same support they gave to show - "NONE"!!!
4.0 out of 5 stars
Fun read for a fan of the show,

This review is from: Sleight of Hand: Las Vegas (Mass Market Paperback)
I'm going to miss "Las Vegas". While more than a bit fanciful, the characters were interesting, the stories amusing, and the visuals were great. The only thing missing from that trifecta in "Sleight of Hand" were the visuals, and fans of the show will automatically provide those in their minds. Not relevant to this book, but I think that canceling the show without resolving those season-ending cliffhangers was an insult to the fans who supported the show through its five seasons.
