Book summary

Chloe is a former escort who's found herself a steady job as the personal dancer to a wealthy, retired lawyer named Tony Paradiso. The money's good and the work, dancing around in a topless cheerleader's outfit while he watches old football games, is not exactly challenging. One night Chloe and Tony have two guests at their party--she brings along her roommate, Kelly, and he invites his business partner, Montez Taylor. What should have been a night of naughty fun soon turns deadly and before anyone can even cheer "Go, team!" there are two dead bodies on the floor. Called into the crime scene, detective Frank Delsa soon learns that he has more than just a double homicide on his hands--indeed, he must solve a complicated case involving an assumed identity and a safe deposit box full of money.
