darkmustreadserialserialkillertorture
The first thriller in the Blackstone and Prescott series by New York Times and USA Today best selling author, Linda S. Prather. Adam Blackstone is challenged to a unique game of chess by a deranged opponent. There won't be a stalemate, resignation or draw-the only way to win the game is CHECKMATE.

Serial killers were an obsession of Adam Blackstone. A psychopath himself, the darkness inside him leads him not only to the bodies but into the minds of the killers.

Teamed up with feisty FBI agent Samantha Prescott, Blackstone returns to the city of his birth, Lexington, Kentucky to play an endgame he soon realizes he can't win...unless he kills. And once he kills, the darkness will consume him and he won't be able to turn back.

38 parts Complete Mature
In the aftermath of a chilling execution, secrets that were buried for years are beginning to surface, threatening to unravel everything. Ava Sinclair, once a skilled psychiatrist who navigated the minds of the most dangerous criminals, is now haunted by a past she can no longer ignore. The man she thought she had forgotten-Marcus Ravel-was executed for his gruesome crimes, but his shadow still looms over her. As Ava tries to reclaim her life, fragmented memories begin to resurface. Memories of her involvement with Marcus, of a dangerous game that blurred the lines between the professional and personal, between sanity and madness. The past she thought was locked away is now spilling into the present, unraveling her sense of self. With the arrival of a cryptic message and a series of unsettling events, Ava is forced to confront the truth she's been running from. As she digs deeper into Marcus's dark world, she realizes that the game is far from over, and she's still playing it-unwittingly-and at a much higher stake. But she's not alone. Eric Grant, the detective who once guided her through the dark maze of Marcus's mind, now holds secrets of his own. The truth about his involvement with Marcus is more dangerous than Ava could have ever imagined, and his loyalties are being questioned as the line between friend and foe becomes increasingly blurred. In this twisted, psychological thriller, Ava must face the truth about her own darkness, and what it means to be caught in a game where silence is as deadly as the truth. *The Silent Game* is the second book in a gripping new series that will leave readers questioning their own perceptions of right and wrong, and just how far they would go to survive the ultimate game of secrets.
