Sally wished the
psychic hadn't been so bloody vague. She had so many unanswered questions.
Lillian held
up a small, leather-bound book. "This is Lady Constance's diary." A
murmur swept through the room as she pointed to a line in the journal.
"Lady Constance wrote here, 'The storm that killed my daughter is a
punishment from God because I am not married.'"
Sympathetic
moans rose from the crowd.
Lillian took a
deep breath. "Back in those days it was taboo to be a spinster with
children. Mrs. Madeleine, or Beth as we fondly call her, was born with the
palsy, which we now understand could be cerebral palsy. In 1899, the doctors
didn't know much about the disease. Beth's disability has left her unable to
walk or articulate coherently, hence the reason why I'm here talking to you today
instead of her."
All eyes were
on Beth as murmurs of concern swept through the room.
"You
might be wondering how or why I know so much about Beth's life," Lillian
said. "Well, ladies and gentlemen, I know a great deal about her from over
fifty journals that her mother had written. Amongst a multitude of subjects,
the diaries mention frequent, glowing apparitions that have hovered around Beth
throughout her life. These ghostly blue lights have been seen by countless
people."
The audience
cooed in amazement. A few excited people jumped up and waved their arms in the
air, desperate to ask questions. And then Sally noticed Peter Flannigan in the
crowd.
Why is HE here?

What happens when the deck is stacked against you...
From NFL rising-star prospect to wanted fugitive, Calvin Watters is a sadistic African-American Las Vegas debt-collector framed by a murderer who, like the Vegas Police, finds him to be the perfect fall-guy.

When the brutal slaying of a prominent casino owner is followed by the murder of a well-known bookie, Detective Dale Dayton is thrown into the middle of a highly political case and leads the largest homicide investigation in Vegas in the last twelve years.
What if you're dealt a Dead Man's Hand?
