Summary

At the grisly murder scene of a teen prostitute, Virginia state trooper Riley Tatum's past roars back to haunt her. When she was a teenage runaway, she was kidnapped, drugged, and left unconscious on the streets. She has no memories of what happened, only strange recurring dreams of two men playing cards.

Former FBI agent Clay Bowman, Riley's old flame, is Shield Security's newest member. He's plagued by the unsolved case of a serial killer nicknamed the Shark who murdered girls as part of a sadistic poker game. Only one girl survived. With the Shark now bent on evening that score, Clay has a chilling suspicion: Riley is the girl who escaped the Shark's deadly amusement—and she is his next prey.

As the Shark gets ready to play his hand, can Riley and Clay stop him—or will this killer finally claim the one who got away?

Enjoyable

Very enjoyable book. Not too much bad language, but enough to spoil the narrative. Good storyline, even though somewhat predictable.

Another great story.

This was a well constructed novel with plenty of intriguing moments. I found it less captivating than Rattle. but still enjoyed it. The narration was really good, the male voices performed by Christina were just as entertaining. Loving your work Mary, keep it coming.

Deadly Game

State Trooper Riley Tatum never thought that she would meet old lover former FBI agent Clay Bowman, now a member of Shield Security again. Certainly not in the middle of a murder investigation that hits too close to home. A case that has similarities to an incident in her past.

Could it really be true that she survived a serial killer playing a deadly game of life or death poker. And has the man, 'The Shark' returned to kill the one who got away. And who was the gambler who staked her life on a hand of cards?

The answers to these questions will rock her life and send her on a date with destiny. And beside her as she faces her demons will be the one man she can't forget. The man who wants a second chance at a future that he threw away. If she is prepared to risk her heart and life on the turn of a card.

Mary Burton delivers a cracking thriller which I listened to for free with Kindle Unlimited. I thoroughly recommend this book to readers who love hot edge of the seat romantic suspense with a psychological twist.
