Dare Game (The Irish Garda Files Book 1)

One dead body, one ace of spades. Is the playing card an oversight, or is it a trademark?

Detective John O’Sullivan needs to find out if the murder was a one-off, or if the killer plans to work his way through a whole deck of cards. The plot thickens as his team from An Garda Síochána discovers more unsolved murders with the same modus operandi—all over the world.

Amber Reed stumbles into the middle of this mess after learning her teenage daughter is a key-player in the Dublin murder case. Determined to do the right thing, the two offer to help John, even though that puts their own lives in danger.

Pressed by time and duty, John has to protect them and crack the case before more bodies pile up on his watch.

Each book from The Irish Garda Files series can be read as a stand-alone novel and does not contain cliffhangers.
