The Game

Detective Sydney Valentine pursues the truth behind who or what killed two high school teachers.

While attending her former high school’s football game, Detective Sydney Valentine is dispatched to the scene of the suspicious death of Barry Riley, the team’s coach.

During her investigation, Valentine discovers Riley was known for his love of the ladies—any lady, married or single. Did a jealous boyfriend or husband find out about the infidelity and decide to get rid of the competition—permanently?

Several days after Riley’s death, Ms. Price, a beloved math teacher, is discovered dead in her flower garden. She enjoyed playing blackjack at casinos and was also deeply in debt. Did she owe money to the wrong people and paid with her life?

As Valentine puts together the clues, she realizes the cases are connected.

As usual, the truth is unexpected—and quite disturbing.
