About the book

The Poker Game

Judge Leonard Kurtz hosts a high-stakes Saturday-night poker game with rigid rules: six players, ten thousand dollars in cash from each, and twelve hours at the table. Then five of the players are found dead, each killed by a single shot to the head. Detective Jack Dantzler must determine which victim was the true target and locate the missing sixth player—who may be fortunate, endangered, or responsible. As Dantzler strips away the case’s many layers, the trail leads him toward the only murderer he has ever failed to catch.
