Is it The Hanged Man by P.N. Elrod?
I only flip through the first several dozen pages at a library before setting down the book, and the only detail I remember from the story is that the female deuteragonist is a genius detective due to her prophet/seer ancestry: although she doesn't get the full kit and cannot predict the future 100% like her ancestors, she can still make surprisingly good abductions and pick out relevant clues out of a sea of garbage information, Sherlock style. Does the above description ring a bell to any fellow tropers?
