A working girl is found dead in the desert. Can a calendar girl uncover the truth?

In this award-winning prequel to GETTING OFF ON FRANK SINATRA, it's Christmastime in Sin City. Aspiring journalist Copper Black meets Victoria McKimber, an outspoken prostitute at one of Nevada's legal brothels. She's offered Copper the exclusive right to tell her story. Not only will the Las Vegas Light's ""calendar girl"" get a byline, but she can also impress her boyfriend and parents when they arrive for the holidays.

Copper is busy with work, Christmas shopping, and fantasizing about a whole week with her long-distance boyfriend. She's also helping her brother, a civic-minded pastor who is spearheading plans for a new center to serve the homeless. Things are hectic but under control when shocking news breaks. Victoria McKimber has turned up dead.

As she investigates the violent death, Copper evades enemies, juggles boyfriend, work, and family, and races against time to save her brother from a sinister plot. Unless she can expose the truth about Victoria McKimber, somebody just might get away with murder.

Reviews for Full Service Blonde

Megan Edwards takes us through a Las Vegas both ordinary and odd. Her narrator's mix of humor and innocence plays nicely against the city's colorful grit as she encounters a parade of unsavory -- yet complicated -- characters in an effort to unearth the details of a murder. Told with warmth and wit, and ripe with suspense, this book is a delightful read -- Heather Skyler, author of the novels The Perfect Age, and Vegas Girls I was sucked in by Copper and the story. This book was engrossing and nuanced and surprising. The characters are well developed, their interactions are realistic and flawed (just like real people) and the atmosphere is captivating. I didn't want to put the book down- like all the best books I had to know what happened, and what happens next. I will certainly be keeping my eye out for more from Copper Black. -- Laura Gibbons, owner Red Hen Bookshop
