The Missing Ink — Karen E. Olson

Brett Kavanaugh is a tattoo artist and owner of the Painted Lady, catering to high-profile clients in Las Vegas. But in her free time she does a little investigating too, because murder really gets under her skin....

When a girl makes an appointment to get devotion ink with the name of her fiance embedded in a heart. Brett takes the job, but the girl never shows. The next thing Brett knows, the police are looking for her mysterious client...and the name this woman wanted on the tattoo isn't her fiance's.

An alliance with an unlikely partner leads Brett to a dead body, a suave Englishman, and an Elvis karaoke bar. And who is the tattooed stranger stalking her? Brett draws lines between the clues, unwittingly putting herself in danger. But she intends to see justice done, since death, like a tattoo, is permanent.
