Magical Echo

When supernaturals with unique abilities seek to profit from the normal population of Sin City, Echo Branson is dispatched by the Others to put a stop to it. When one of the indie supernaturals turns up dead a violent turf war erupts. Echo finds herself besieged and threatened by the rival factions. The in-fighting threatens not only her life, but that of her students as well. The landscape of alliances shifts rapidly and she is in desperate need of an ally of her own. It’s going to take more than a magic act and sleight of hand to survive. An unlikely alliance and unimaginable self-discovery confront Echo in this fifth novel in the award-winning paranormal investigations. "There are a lot of bodies buried in the Las Vegas desert, and Echo has to work doubly hard not to end up one of them. Between murderous antics of supernaturals who are off the grid, and becoming mired in a murder investigation with too many unanswered questions, Echo and company must navigate the treacherous waters of the Vegas strip. As Echo realizes there is an enemy within her ranks, she must call on the one person who wants nothing more to do with her, as well as accept help from some of the most unlikeliest allies. Can Echo solve the murder before becoming the killer's next victim? Does she, at last, have what it takes to lead her people through the darkness of Vegas and back into the light? And, perhaps most importantly, what magical secret lies dormant within Echo waiting patiently to come to life?"--Publisher's description
