Product Description As native Texan Sherry Gates drives home from New Orleans, she smugly recalls last week's escapades. The auction at a palatial southern plantation was more successful than she and her business partner, Elaina Davidson, anticipated. As professional antique dealers and interior designers, the trailer filled with treasures from the past is proof of a job well done. The substantial amount of cash tucked inside her handbag, however, is evidence of a completely different, although equally exhilarating, triumph. Sherry never imagined her enthusiasm for No Limit Texas Hold 'Em could be so lucrative. And she was certain her poker tournament rivals never expected this spirited yet inexperienced young woman would finish in first place. But it's not until Sherry and Elaina begin the unloading that they realize what challenges really are. Sherry cannot understand how a former poker opponent ends up inside the locked trailer. And she certainly can t explain who killed him! This gruesome discovery is just the beginning of Sherry's entanglement in treachery, deception, and murder. This is one game she will definitely lose unless she finds answers to certain questions. Who wants to see her dead? And why?
