If you have ever been to a gambling casino I'm sure you saw a room where the stakes were so high only very rich people could even think of going in. I don't gamble at all really--but I have seen those rooms!! The one depicted here is on Indian land and has a lot of really expensive antiques. Marty was asked to appraise these items but could only do so at night--her detective husband wasn't thrilled to say the least--especially since something else was going on there that the police were involved in.
One of the high rollers was found dead in his room--but who did it? Another high roller who always lost to him, or was it the aging actress who was also losing money-money she could ill afford to lose or was it someone else?
Another psychic dog helps with this one. The ending is not one you will expect--but is poetic justice!!
Of course there are recipes that will have your mouth watering!
