Squeeze Play: A Thriller

Billy Beckett, Book 6

De: Kelly Hodge

Narrado por: M. P. MacDougall

He has it all. And he’s about to lose everything.

Carlito Ramos is a rising star in the coaching ranks of Division I men’s basketball—a husband, a role model, a leader of young men. But behind closed doors, his secret indulgences could ruin not just his marriage, but his entire career. And now, someone is whispering his name. Someone who knows.

In the sixth installment of the best-selling Billy Beckett series, the renowned sports agent is reeling. Billy’s father—his hero, mentor, and business partner—has died, leaving behind a legacy…and a silence that threatens to consume Billy whole. As grief claws at his every decision, he finds himself at a crossroads: protect his longtime client, Carlito, or do what he knows in his gut is right?

Meanwhile, Billy’s fearless partner, Claire Bosken, is building an empire with Premier’s booming music division. But one chilling night in Nashville, everything changes. A stranger appears. And a nightmare begins. As Claire’s confidence unravels, she’s forced to question whether the threat is real—or if trauma is playing tricks on her mind.

As Billy and Claire fight their way through heartbreak, betrayal, and mounting danger, they uncover a web of secrets far darker than they imagined—one that could destroy not just their clients, but their lives.

In a world where loyalty is currency and silence is survival, how far would you go to protect your livelihood and your life?

Great performance!

Overall great book 6 for Billy Beckett. Same characters with twisting story line. If you liked the last 5 books you will surly love book 6.

Love catching up with old friends…

I imagine it’s hard for Kelly Hodge to write these books without Scott. I’m so glad he does. I miss these characters and was thrilled to catch up with the Beckett talent group, now in Nashville. The stories are fresh while still letting us into the lives of our favorite characters. Squeeze Play was another great adventure and also a great place to jump in if you’re not familiar. Great fun either way.

Love Billy Beckett

I started this series because I love the Joe Dillard series. This one did not disappoint.
I didn't like the narrator in book 5 at all and plan to return the book. This one wasn't bad however, it wasn't Tim Campbell who is the voice of Billy Beckett in my opinion. Please Mr Hodge, let us have Tim back. The changing of narrators is unfortunate for the listener. It changes the picture you have created in your mind of that character.
I do love the series and stories. Thank you Mr Hodge for continuing this series without Mr Pratt. He is missed.
