So Damn Lucky (Forge $24.99)Coonts has a wonderful voice in Lucky O’Toole and a touching on-going soap in Lucky’s life as it unfolds, hidden by family and by her own defenses. Her job is Head of Customer Relations at The Babylon, premier mega-resort on the Vegas Strip. She works for The Big Boss, now revealed as her dad. And on a night she attends a party for a cabaret she has shut down for a redo of an old casino, a magician stages Houdini’s escape-under-water-in-a-box-while-tied-up trick. It goes wrong. He dies—or does her? That’s just the beginning of this romp, good-humored yet laced with genuine sadness. For Lucky, life keeps moving forward.
