Book Review: The Capo's Mistress

I love a good mystery book, especially one with a lot of spice. Let me present to you The Capo's Mistress by Richard Harris, an intriguing mystery combined with steamy romance that will keep you on your toes. The setting is Las Vegas. Mary Carter is a showgirl mixed up in some bad stuff. She finds herself running from both the law and the mob, so she makes the decision to escape to Virginia City. No one will look for a showgirl in the middle of a small town right? Mary escapes with her life, but leaves behind a valuable bag she dumped in the Treasure Island Hotel's lagoon. Mary knows she must return to Vegas to recover the bag or find someone who can do it for her. Mike Driscoll, a recovering alcoholic and ex cop, meets Mary when his car breaks down in Virginia City. He's a sucker for a beautiful woman, and in no time Mary has him in bed and doing her dirty work. Mike heads back to Las Vegas to recover the bag for Mary, but he draws the attention of The Capo, leading him and his thug men right back to Virginia City and Mary. The plot thickens as Mike and Mary face the mob and Mary deceitful past.

Richard Harris is a graduate of both Stanford University and Standford Law School. He spent many years as a lawyer and is a 17 year veteran of the Los Angeles Superior Court. His first novel is filled with information gained from his personal experiences with the law.

I recommend this book to everyone who loves a good mystery. You may pre-order The Capo’s Mistress at Amazon, but if you like audio books, you can download The Capo's Mistress for free until April 27. You can also read excerpts of the book on the site if you're not much for audio format.
