Lay It on the Line by Catherine Dain

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.

Freddie figures she's got some legwork to do when an ex-chorus girl asks for her help. Joan Halliday says her elderly father's being conned by his caretakers - and a little investigation is needed. But the case gets more complicated when a murder - and a tangled mess of family secrets - are discovered. And before she knows it, Freddie's gambling with her own life.
