Lectures on the History and Principles of Ancient Commerce (1853)

Las Vegas lures the redheaded twins, Angel and Amanda Wilson. Their two-week vacation to sin city fills a need in both women, to celebrate or commiserate their recent divorces from cheating spouses. On the flight out from Michigan, they meet Cookie, a Las Vegas lounge singer and they become instant friends. Angel falls prey to slot machine fever. She also falls in love with the city of Las Vegas and Cookie’s brother, Sam Cassious, pit boss at the Morrocan Hotel and Casino. Amanda becomes addicted to the handsome brooding Italian hunk, Cole Manzano. Their nights of sexual escapades in the desert shack take a sinister turn. Cole does not commit. Amanda does not take rejection lightly and vows revenge. Angel’s gift of reading her twin cannot save Amanda this time. Amanda fuels a sequence of events leading to stolen money, kidnapping, murderous threats, and grave danger for the twins.
