Las Vegas Down

The Story of the Route 91 Festival Shooting

By: D.P. Conway

Narrated by: Randy Hames

A True Crime Fantasy Thriller

A darkness that grew undetected...a tragedy no one imagined...and a girl that wanted to live....

In the style of Dan Brown’s Angels and Demons, Las Vegas Down is the untold story of the Las Vegas shooting and the life of the shooter, Stephen Paddock.

In this gripping account of one of America’s worst tragedies, D.P. Conway takes what is known, and imagines what is missing to deliver a compelling narrative that gives answer to the question, “Why?”

The story begins with a dark connection in Paddock’s ancestry and moves quickly into the criminal life of his mobster father, Bingo Bruce, and his father’s “Bonnie and Clyde” style mistress, who cast long shadows over the killer’s life.

It is also the inspiring story of a girl named Theresa, and her best friend, both country music fans, who suddenly find themselves caught up in a life or death situation they never imagined. But will they survive?

The story then moves from the darkness of that night to a marvelous dawn with an ending you never imagined and one you will never forget.

It has been said that great story tellers use their imagination to bring order out of chaos, and in this work, D.P. Conway does not disappoint.

Critic reviews

“An immensely powerful book.... The blending of fact and fiction is seamless...a compulsive read.... The background on Stephen's life - including fictional extrapolations on his motives for the massacre - is also fascinating.... A powerful and compelling read from start to finish...." (Onlinebookclub.org)

"A unique work of genre-bending fiction...." (Book Life)

"Conway aptly blends real-life elements with fictional characters and situations. An engrossing, dramatized consideration of a real-life tragedy...." (Kirkus Reviews)

dialogue left much to be desired

a little ridiculous, poor dialogue, flighty and didn't answer any questions about the actual event.
