Vegas Girls, A Novel

A historical thriller perfect for fans of strong female leads, twisty plots, and layered storytelling.

Las Vegas, 1945. To tear down a criminal empire, Thelma Miles masterminds an elaborate ruse. To pull off the con, she assembles an unlikely crew: Kathleen Young, a shrewd businesswoman with secrets of her own; Lillian Montgomery, a Hollywood starlet who is more than she appears; and Imogene Fuchs, a relentless reporter on a crusade to root out corruption.

As federal agents circle, rival gangs plot and her father's empire grows, Thelma Miles must decide how far she'll go to avenge the past—and whether family loyalty is worth the price of her soul.

Thelma knows what it takes to survive in a world of dangerous men. A complex hero, scarred by her mother’s choices, she reinvented herself as a dazzling performer with the wildly popular Florida Girls. Then her world came crashing down and that carefully constructed facade began to crack. Now she must do more than just survive, she must avenge her husband. And let nothing get in her way.

From smoke-filled backrooms to glittering casino floors, L.L. Kirchner’s VEGAS GIRLS is a razor-sharp historical thriller about power, revenge, and the price we pay for reinvention. In a city built on chance, some gambles are worth dying for...and some secrets refuse to stay buried.

Perfect for fans of Kate Quinn's strong heroines, Beatriz Williams'  layered storytelling, and Liane Moriarty's multiple POVs.

They bonded over shared pain. As the danger mounts, will their friendship burn to the ground or rise from the ashes of heartbreak?

This is book 2 in the series but works as a standalone. Cliffhanger ending!
