Play Dirty

De: Sandra Brown

Narrado por: Victor Slezak

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Seeing Red is back with a gripping story of obsession and its deadly consequences.

After five long years in federal prison, Griff Burkett is a free man. But the disgraced Cowboys quarterback can never return to life as he knew it before he was caught cheating. In a place where football is practically a religion, Griff committed a cardinal sin, and no one is forgiving.

Foster Speakman, owner and CEO of SunSouth Airlines, and his wife, Laura, are a golden couple. Successful and wealthy, they lived a charmed life before fate cruelly intervened and denied them the one thing they wanted most -- a child. It's said that money can't buy everything. But it can buy a disgraced football player fresh out of prison and out of prospects.

The job Griff agrees to do for the Speakmans demands secrecy. But he soon finds himself once again in the spotlight of suspicion. An unsolved murder comes back to haunt him in the form of his nemesis, Stanley Rodarte, who has made Griff's destruction his life's mission. While safeguarding his new enterprise, Griff must also protect those around him, especially Laura Speakman, from Rodarte's ruthlessness. Griff stands to gain the highest payoff he could ever imagine, but cashing in on it will require him to forfeit his only chance for redemption...and love.

Griff is now playing a high-stakes game, and at the final whistle, one player will be dead.

Play Dirty is Sandra Brown's wildest ride yet, with hairpin turns of plot all along the way. The clock is ticking down on a fallen football star, who lost everything because of the way he played the game. Now his future—his life—hinges on one last play.©2007 Sandra Brown Management, Ltd; (P)2007 Simon and Schuster Inc

great book!

I personally loved this book. I considered not purchasing it because of the mixed reviews. If you liked "envy" you'll like this book.

ugggh that ending though!

Loved the narration! The story line was really good and a lot of real emotions that one could relate to but that ending! I thought she was going to leave it hanging. She eludes to some extent on their relationship in the end but pretty vague. Probably my least favorite ending to one of her books. But still good nonetheless!!

couldn't wait to hear this every day.

Loved it. couldn't wait to finish. Sandra Brown never fails. if you want a great read this is for you.

Dirty Cowboy

This is my first listen of any Sandra Brown novel and I was not disappointed. This fast paced yarn tells the story of a former Dallas Cowboys quarterback convicted of cheating by throwing a playoff football game. After being released from prison, he attempts to rebuild his life in a very unusual way...being the live donor for a childless well to do couple who cannot conceive on their own. This is an extremely entertaining listen with Victor Slezak doing a commendable job of imitating Texas style voices as needed. Highly recommended especially if you are a football fan.

Like most of Brown's books - a great "read".

Not my favorite, but still attention getting and enjoyable! Not as many twists, turns, who done it nor how but like always, I loved the characters. I could also listen to Victor Slezak all day long. :]
