Book Synopsis:
A city in darkness. A building in lockdown. A score that can only be settled in blood…
Working off the books for FBI Special Agent Alex Monroe, Florida bounty-hunter Lori Anderson and her partner, JT, head to Chicago. Their mission: to entrap the head of the Cabressa crime family. The bait: a priceless chess set that Cabressa is determined to add to his collection.
An exclusive high-stakes poker game is arranged in the penthouse suite of one of the city’s tallest buildings, with Lori holding the cards in an agreed arrangement to hand over the pieces. But, as night falls and the game plays out, stakes rise and tempers flare.
When a power failure plunges the city into darkness, the building goes into lockdown. But this isn’t an ordinary blackout, and the men around the poker table aren’t all who they say they are. Hostages are taken, old scores resurface and the players start to die.
And that’s just the beginning…

My Review:
Wow what a fabulous, entertaining and gripping read this was. I have enjoyed this series from the start, especially as it features Lori Anderson who is one of my all time favourite female protagonist. I have always liked how smart and clever she is which makes her hugely enjoyable to read about. She always seems a very real character as she isn’t always able to fool the bad guys.
This book features the manipulative and morally corrupt Agent Monroe who is a character I always love to hate. He has one final (so he says) case for her which puts Lori in one of the most intense, nail biting situations she’s been in yet. She ends up playing a very high stakes poker game in what is essentially a locked room which leads to some incredibly tense, exciting scenes which made the book very hard to put down. I found myself on the edge of my seat (my husband actually asked me if I was ok) as I read these scenes. It was incredibly exciting as I really didn’t know which way the book was going to go. This author is not afraid to out her characters in harm’s way so I definitely feared for her safety. I’m so excited to read more in this series.
Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Orenda for my copy of this book.
