Publisher's summary

From master of suspense Kelly Oliver. Take a trip to Vegas that you'll never forget.

Working as a maid at the luxury Napoli hotel on the Vegas strip, Jessica James finds a naked man unconscious in a bathtub with a note to call 911. That's when the fun begins....

With only an old photograph to go on, Jessica James is sent on a mission by her dying mother to find a washed-up magician called the Mesmerizer. Along the way, Jessica gets way more than she bargained for when she stumbles into a black market organ ring and learns secrets about her mother that will change her own life forever.

Jessica is shocked by her mother's "deathbed" confession that the man Jessica thought was her father is not. Her biological father is some magician dude that passed through Whitefish twenty-five years ago. Why does Jessica's mother insist on seeing him again? How far will Jessica go to find him and bring him back?

Jessica arrives in Las Vegas penniless and with nowhere to turn. She tracks down an old high school friend, Mackenzie, and crashes on her couch. But Kennie Czarnowski is not what she seems. And the price of a place to sleep may cost Jessica everything. Jessica learns the hard way that in Vegas, the stakes are high and everyone is an illusionist.

With wit and grit, Jessica and her posse take on the seamy underbelly of Vegas. Dauntless, determined, and awkwardly endearing, Jessica James continues to delight listeners.

Once JACKAL gets its hooks into you, you won't be able to put it down. Kelly Oliver knows how to get your heart pounding!

She couldn't leave well enough alone

Jessica starts out on an innocent enough trip at a request from her mom but everything starts to slide down hill after that. I enjoyed the added sound effects, more like an audio drama from the old days.

Painful Narration

I typically listen to 2-4 audio books per week. This might be the worst narration I’ve ever heard. Male voices were fine, but the female voices nearly made me give up. The narrator has a lovely voice, so I have no idea why the grating accents were necessary.

Sound Effects....Uggg!

I enjoy the book. I didnot like the sound effects! They were very distracting! Hopefully this will not be a trend for remaining books.

Awful Narrator

The narrator was awful. Squeeky voices for the women and idk what kind of accent for the Russian woman. Almost unbearable to listen to.
