GAMER: "An up all night thriller that will keep you guessing until the very end."

THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE BAKER & TATE SERIES RETURNS WITH A KILLER SERIAL KILLER SERIES!

A dead man on her couch. A carved wooden horse beside the body. And a phone call from someone who wants to play.

FBI Special Agent Katie Ford comes home to find a colleague murdered in her apartment — staged, deliberate, a message meant only for her. Before the crime scene tape goes up, her phone rings. An anonymous voice. A riddle. A countdown. Solve it or someone else dies.

Suspended from duty and under investigation for a murder she didn't commit, Katie is forced into a deadly game of wits with a caller who knows her case history, her methods, and her sealed academic thesis better than anyone inside the Bureau. Each puzzle leads to a different victim. Each victim is connected to a historical crime only Katie can decode. And each wrong answer costs a life.

While Katie races to beat the clock, her partner Nina Shaw is hunting a more familiar monster. Calvin Calloway — the escaped serial killer who has been circling Katie for years — is back, leaving his signature carved wooden horse figurines at scenes across the city. Someone inside the FBI is feeding him information. And the anonymous caller may not be a stranger at all.

As the puzzles grow more twisted and the body count rises, Katie begins to suspect the worst: the game and the manhunt aren't separate cases. They're two fronts of the same war — and she's the prize.

GAMER is a dark, pulse-pounding FBI thriller about obsession, manipulation, and the terrifying danger of a brilliant mind turned to destruction — perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter, Lisa Gardner, and Robert Dugoni. The seventh book in the Katie Ford FBI Thriller series by Sam Baron.
