Death Perception — Victoria Laurie

With her intuition, psychic Abby Cooper could clean up at the card tables. But on her first trip to Las Vegas, she doesn't have herself have time for betting -- although she does find herself playing against a stacked deck.

The Gamble of a Lifetime

It took a while for Abby's FBI agent boyfriend, Dutch Rivers, to accept her psychic gifts as the real deal. But these days he knows better than to question Abby's visions. So when his cousin Chase is kidnapped after a bloody shoot-out in a Vegas alleyway, he agrees that her clairvoyant skills could be invaluable, and they both catch the next flight to Sin City.

Abby's inner eye insists that Chase is still alive, but nothing else about the case adds up--especially Dutch's reluctance to involve the FBI. On top of everything, Dutch is battling a mysterious illness, and Abby keeps having disturbing dreams that predict his death. Dutch wants Abby to promise that if the investigation goes south, she'll head home to safety, but when the chips are down, Abby won't fold without a fight.
