Dead Game by Jennifer Chase (new-to-me-author/author contact) (this is pdf file so not available for Read It Forward)
In this Video Game, “Game Over” Means You’re Dead
In her independent efforts to catch child killers, Emily Stone discovers the evidence that the cops can’t – or won’t – uncover. Now, this covert investigator is back on the hunt for the world’s most sick and twisted murderers. But even with help from ex-police detective Rick Lopez, this time she’s facing her most dangerous opponent yet.
The headlines in the San Jose Mercury News blare updates on a serial killer who seems able to slaughter with impunity. Men, women – it doesn’t matter; the victims serve only to satisfy a perverted need to kill. The killer watches the moment of death on multiple computer screens, over and over again. The only connection is that they’re all devotees of the latest video-game craze – a sophisticated brain-puzzler called EagleEye.
When the killer goes after Lopez’s law-enforcement mentor, Lopez and Stone decide to give the cops a little extra, unsolicited help. What follows takes them deep inside a shocking high-tech world, a kind of social-networking community for serial killers. But when they start getting too close to the truth, all hell’s going to break loose.
Now, Stone and Lopez become the killer’s next target as Stone must make a difficult decision to leave the ones she loves in an all-or-nothing effort for survival. Can they stay alive long enough to blow the whistle on this unlikely perpetrator?

That cover is enough to scare me!
I haven’t heard of this book before, but not sure it is my cup of tea.
Wow! That cover is really an attention grabber.
That sound like an intense read!
I hope it’s a good book!
This the kind of book my SD would love!
Oooh look so good! My Mailbox is at The Crowded Leaf.
Love the Christmas cats!
I am adding that to my list!!!! Exciting and on edge I feel. It reminds me of Saw movies, greatness. Also, I recently put this on my TBR list – you may be interested. This is Not a Game by Walter Jon Williams.
Happy Holidays
Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll be stopping by Amazon to check it out.
She has another book Complusion that was written before Dead Game and stars the same female lead character.
Love the cats. I was going to put Dead Game on my wish list but if it reminds Marce of the Saw movies….maybe not.
You know I can’t bring myself to watch gory movies but reading it doesn’t bother me. I’m a very visual person but sometimes too much visual just does me in.
I like investigative crime stories. The cover is very dark and scary though! I’ll be interested to see how you like it!
Have a wonderful holiday!
Love the creepy books! This sounds like a good one too! The Christmas kitties are adorable and very festive. I hope your holidays are very happy!!
