Playing With Death

INTRODUCING FBI SPECIAL AGENT ROSE BLAKE The hardest part of the job is knowing how much evil is out there. How can she protect herself and those she loves? Haunted by a failed undercover mission, Rose is finding it hard to shake the memories of her close encounter with a ruthless serial killer - one who is still free, and could strike again without warning. The call to investigate a suspected arson attack that's left a man dead is a welcome distraction. It's not the kind of case usually assigned to the FBI, but nothing about this crime is usual. As Rose digs deeper, she finds herself confronting the sort of imagination her son might see in the fantasy worlds of his video games. But when your opponent is a killer, nothing feels like a game . . .
