The Devoted Game

De: Debra Webb

Narrado por: Joe Knezevich, Samara Naeymi

A disgraced FBI agent is challenged to a life-or-death match by a deviously clever kidnapper in this propulsive novel by USA Today bestselling author Debra Webb.

Former FBI agent Ryan McBride crashed and burned three years ago after a case took a fatal turn. He swore he was done with the Bureau forever—until Special Agent Vivian Grace shows up at his door with a new case he can’t refuse.

Six-year-old Alyssa Byrne has been kidnapped, and her abductor, alias Devoted Fan, has threatened to kill her in twenty-four hours. He promises to reveal the girl’s location to the FBI on one condition: He’ll only talk to McBride.

With the clock ticking, Grace and McBride race to solve Devoted Fan’s puzzles, each more twisted than the last. But when another victim goes missing, with a promise of more to come, they realize that Devoted Fan is not just a stranger with a deranged obsession. His sick game is somehow connected to both their pasts—but around which dark corner lies the answer?

Revised edition: Previously published as Nameless, this edition of The Devoted Game includes editorial revisions.

“Devoted Fan” of Vivian Grace & Ryan McBride

The character development drew me in and the excitement kept me there. Such a good book! I was hoping it was the start of a Grace/McBride series and while researching I found that The Devoted Game is actually a re-release of Webb’s 2007 novel, Nameless. While I’m disappointed that I won’t be able to read more about Vivian and Ryan, it had opened me up to another go-to author. The narration was perfection and added so much to the experience.

Excellent villains!!

Such a good book! Loved every second! I wish there were more stories about The two of them -McBride and Grace solving cases together!

Debra Webb never disappoints

An original twist on typical FBI stories! A disgraced former agent is called in to help on a case at the perpetrator’s demand. Things start moving fast from there!!

A bit darker than her usual

This story was a bit darker than I am used to from this author. Well developed characters with difficult backgrounds. Suspenseful. I had guessed a few key points but I read a lot of suspense and mysteries. Excellent narration.

Couldn’t put it down!!

Pulled me in from the start!! The twist, the mystery, and the game played in the story were wonderful. Some parts are a bit more spicy and it worked great in this book. The narrators were great as well.
