Description

Temple, Texas Police Detective, Barry Marshall hunts for a hardened serial killer with the ultimate endgame, one intended to strip Marshall of everything he holds dear—his career, his wife Erin, and his reputation.

Unbeknownst to Marshall, the killer had dated Erin years ago, and seeing Marshall with her pushes him over the edge. Determined to punish Marshall for stealing his beloved, the killer plays a deadly cat-and-mouse game of murder. As the body count rises, Marshall is forced to face his worst nightmare.

Advance Praise

Addictive and fast-paced with strong characters and a terrifying climax. The serious tone of the novel creates an atmosphere of fear and anxiety.

US Review of Books

A killer is messing with Barry Marshall's head--and with everything he holds dear. That sets the stage for Alan Brenham's chilling, twisting, rocketing thriller, Game Piece (Black Opal Books), in which Marshall is the game piece that the killer is coldly, cruelly maneuvering. But what's the endgame? And can Marshall turn the game? Can he stop being used, being played? Just as the killer has messed with Marshall's head, the author has wonderfully messed with ours.
