[Rat Pack 02] - Luck Be a Lady, Don't Die
Robert J. Randisi
Vegas, 1960. Gamblin’, drinkin’, and everybody’s misbehavin’.
Six months ago, while they were filming Ocean’s 11, the Rat Pack needed Eddie Gianelli’s help to track down the mug who was sending threatening letters to Dino. Now they’re back for the premiere and it’s Frank who needs Eddie’s help. Seems a babe he was planning to meet in Sin City took a powder-leaving behind her luggage and a stiff in the bathtub. She’s on the lam, and it’s up to Eddie to find her and figure out if she’s a victim or a killer.
Once again Eddie teams up with his P.I. buddy, Danny Bardini, and the Jewish New York torpedo, Jerry Epstein, who never met a pancake he didn’t like. Together they scour the neon streets, smoke-filled lounges, casinos, and seamy back alleys, dodging bodies and thugs with guns. But when Sam Giancana arrives on the scene, Eddie starts to wonder if he’s going to be able to keep himself out of jail-and alive.
Celebrity cameos spice up the action, and Mo Mo Giancana brings a dark presence to the story. Once again, Randisi, the man Booklist says “may be the last of the pulp writers,” gives readers a tour de force of bright lights, hot dice, and drop-dead-gorgeous dames in this second novel in the exciting, acclaimed series.

Reviews for the Rat Pack Mystery Series-
“Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin never knew how much trouble they were in until Robert Randisi stepped onto the scene. A gem of a read!”
-Sue Grafton
“Randisi does a bang-up job capturing Sinatra, Martin, Davis Jr., and their fellow Kings of Cool in all their Vegas glory . . . With a likeable but savvy protagonist, a deep understanding of Vegas culture and 60’s style, and an obvious love of the Rat Pack, Randisi delivers a stylish, memorable winner.”
