Publisher Description
In this game, the stakes are life or death.
The Seven of Spades is back with a vengeance—the vigilante serial killer has resumed their murderous crusade, eluding the police at every turn. But a bloodthirsty killer isn’t the only threat facing Sin City. A devious saboteur is wreaking havoc in Las Vegas’s criminal underworld, and the entire city seems to be barreling toward an all-out gang war.
As Detective Levi Abrams is pushed ever closer to his breaking point, his control over his dangerous rage slips further every day. His relationship with PI Dominic Russo should be a source of comfort, but Dominic is secretly locked in his own downward spiral, confronting a nightmare he can’t bear to reveal.
Las Vegas is floundering. Levi and Dominic’s bond is cracking along the seams. And the Seven of Spades is still playing to win. How many bad hands can Levi and Dominic survive before it’s game over?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Kingsbridge's splendidly twisty third Seven of Spades romantic thriller is rife with red herrings. Recovering gambler and private eye Dominic Russo is in love with Levi Abrams, a Las Vegas police detective. Levi has a dangerous goal: capturing the Seven of Spades, a serial killer preying on criminals. Alternating between Levi and Dominic's perspectives, Kingsbridge skillfully spins her suspenseful story, bringing in an underground casino, three organized crime families on the verge of all-out war, and a conservative college student who is wrapped up with a big-time criminal. As Dominic relapses into the black hole of gambling, suddenly little else matters until hints crop up that Levi's ex-boyfriend could be the killer everyone's hunting. Supporting characters, like Levi's doting parents, are charming, and the author aptly chronicles the gritty depth and desperation of addiction and how it can destroy a loving relationship. The heroes stopping for a quickie while escaping armed gunmen strains credulity, but the rip-roaring, bullet-filled finale somewhat makes up for it. A tantalizing cliff-hanger will leave readers ready for the next book.
