For in this game, the rules are simple: To win, you only have to kill. To lose, you will have to die... <b>Play To Scream... </B> The victims are former beauty queens found with a single rose beside their bodies. Lindsay McAllister has seen this signature before, when she was a rookie detective with the Chattanooga PD investigating the death of Judd Walker's wife, a murder that sent the handsome lawyer off the deep end. Now, Lindsay has the brutal task of telling Judd that his wife's killer has struck again, and she's going to need his help to outplay their opponent--because the killer is getting bolder, faster, and more ruthless. The game is escalating, and no one is safe. <B>Play To Die... </B> Now as the body count rises, the rules are changing. A killer will do anything to win. And the only way for Lindsay to stop a madman's twisted game is to play it herself... 601015 1 4 2007 The Dying Game (Griffin Powell, #3) total:148|5:46|4:50|3:40|2:8|1:4| 148 570 228 25 2 5 false true Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Jan 04 10:19:13 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 06 13:22:18 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 5 false false Wed Oct 08 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 07 08:48:04 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 08 20:55:02 -0700 2008 more...]]> 1 2 false false Fri Feb 15 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 15 13:54:34 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 15 14:09:03 -0800 2008
