Bet Against The House

Description for BET AGAINST THE HOUSE by Catherine Dain:

A RUGGED LIFE...AND A SUDDEN DEATH... Freddie didn't know what to expect when she arrived in Elko to attend a gathering of cowboy poets. What she found was actual cowboys--and cowgirls--reciting verse, drinking whiskey, and catching up with old buddies. The friendly get-together turned ugly, though, when one of the cowboy poets was found dead...and Freddie's boyfriend was accused. Now she's learning more about Sam's past than she ever knew --and hoping she hasn't been keeping company with a killer...

A FREDDIE O'NEAL MYSTERY... For fun, she likes a game of keno. To relax, she'll hang out with her cats. And for excitement, nothing beats piloting a plane. But when it comes to crime--in a gambling town like Reno--Freddie O'Neal is all business.

This is #5 in A Freddie O'Neal Mystery series.
