The Devil's Own Game
(2019)(The third book in the Somebody's Bound to Wind Up Dead Mystery series)
A novel by Annie Hogsett
The murder is the message
What you don't see is what you get. When a sniper targets a blind man walking along the lagoon of the Cleveland Museum of Art, the bullet is a wake-up call aimed straight for Allie Harper and Tom Bennington, shattering their illusion that the Mondo Mega Jackpot Nightmare is over.
On the day Allie - sassy, lonely, broke - met Tom - smart, hot, blind - he won $500 million trying to show a kid that gambling doesn't pay. Romance - and multiple murders - ensued, along with a new, opulent lifestyle that the couple had never dreamed possible. Then a ruthless man of formidable skills and resources hacked into the security system in their rented 9,000 square-foot lakeside mansion, and they learned just how far someone who begrudges their good fortune would go to destroy them. Now they know the past six months of peace and quiet were the calm before a rising storm of mayhem and revenge.
The new game begins tonight. An old devil. A new devil. And a new case for The T&A Detective Agency. (Yes. They should have put Allie's initial first.) Tom and Allie aren't on the case long before they discover a strong lead that takes them into the heights of Cleveland's upper-crust, where husbands and wives weave webs of betrayal with unfathomable sums of money at the center. As the threats-and murders - multiply, Allie, Tom, and the T&A must fight to beat the devil's own game. Will they get out alive?
