Abby Cooper has a psychic gift that allows her to know certain things about people including whether they are dead or alive. Dutch Rivers is Abby’s FBI agent boyfriend and has become convinced that Abby’s gift is real and no longer questions her visions.

When Dutch learns that his cousin Chase has been kidnapped he immediately leaves for Las Vegas and Abby insists on going along to help. Chase has been working as a bodyguard for Ricardo Delgado and both Delgado and Chase had disappeared. Delgado’s wife is filing for divorce and isn’t very forthcoming with helpful information.

Dutch is working with the local police but does not want to call in the FBI. Dutch is working on a private investigation against FBI Agent Robillard and the last thing he wants is Robillard on the scene.

Suddenly Dutch does a disappearing act and although he has made Abby promise if anything happens to him that she will return home immediately Abby takes another direction. She calls her friend Candice for help and her sister Cat for money and both show up in Vegas. Abby is being chased by Agent Robillard and his crew but the girls give him a good run for his money. The girls find help in the most unusual places.

Abby keeps having visions that Dutch is in deep trouble but the three are determined to find him and before it is too late. An interesting, amusing story with a surprise ending.
