Gambling on the Future

Abilene Spoon, a high school English teacher, is hardworking and conscientious. Her life is filled with textbooks, homework papers, and her cat, Mousey. When she says ‘yes’ to a blind date, she finds herself drawn into her first serious relationship in a long time.

Quick-witted, funny, and sincere, Rocky Road captures Abilene’s heart. When he is murdered, the evidence suggested that he was immersed in a world of high rollers and danger. Abilene doesn’t believe that and wants to know the truth.

The faced-paced action starts in Florida and ends up in Nassau, where, with the help of her Uncle Nate and the Mankiller Detective agency, Abilene sets out on an adventure of suspense and intrigue to bring the people who murdered Rocky to justice.

Gambling on the Future is the third stand-alone book in the Mankiller Detective Series.
