A Game For The Dead
by E. L. Chase · High Velocity Crime series
James Harlan inherits a ledger that ties him to his father's hidden cons, and a network that watches his every move. Who is the hunter and who is the prey?
About the book
Betrayed and orphaned, James races through forests, abandoned cabins and industrial mazes after a ghost from his father’s past. Alliances shatter, and even the help he is given turns into a trap.
The feel of the read
The plot is built around an inherited secret; James Harlan is reacting to a network that already knows him, rather than building a scheme of his own from scratch. That reversal, hunted instead of hunting, shapes most of the book’s tension.
Who this book is for
Works well for readers who like cat-and-mouse plots where the protagonist has to work out the rules of a trap while already inside it, and who enjoy family-legacy hooks in their crime fiction.
