Fountains of Bellagio

What do labor unions mean to American workers today? When Chris Cartwright, president of one of the nation's oldest and largest transportation unions, is found murdered the night before the start of their national convention, a spotlight is trained on organized labor like never before. For Jayden Clarke and Ashish Reddy, two rookie Las Vegas detectives, the suspect list is long. Chris's best childhood friend has been investigated by the FBI, and throughout his career, he has tangled with politicians, CEOs and government agencies on behalf of his members. But who would resort to murder to eliminate an inconvenient adversary? Fountains of Bellagio delves into the history of American unions through the career of one of its most dynamic leaders, cut shockingly and mysteriously short. While three thousand convention delegates at Caesars Palace mourn their slain leader, five ambitious vice presidents of the union jockey for position to assume Chris's role, as Jayden and Ashish race to solve the crime. Because in this case, what happened in Vegas needs to be solved in Vegas before the week is out.
