Famous, autocratic Cullen Pulaski has drawn together his
tried and true team -- with two new additions -- to deal
with the suspected murders of three people working with a
consortium to broker a trade deal with China. The police
are unsure any of the deaths are homicides, but Cullen is
convinced someone is trying to destroy the deal.
To help with this case, Cullen brings in his goddaughter,
Madison Harper, a profiler at the top of her game. She
joins CIA operative Gabriel Roarke and the two immediately
butt heads, both strong-willed and used to going their own
way. But as they investigate this case and isolate more
deaths that appeared to be accidental, they slowly begin to
respect each other's abilities. (Although Gabe has a hard
time putting much stock in profiling, instead wanting hard
evidence and legwork to be the main ways to solve the
case.)
As the team tracks the killer (or possibly killers?), it
becomes apparent that Madison is being targeted, too. The
sparks between Gabe and Madison ignite after she watches an
old family friend killed right in front of her. Devastated,
she turns to Gabe for comfort, and he finds himself falling
for the strong-willed loner.
ENDGAME is an excellent beginning to a Ms. Davis' trilogy.
Lots of action, lots of undertones, and some darned hot
guys! What more can you ask for? Madison is a great
character, a tough woman fighting it out in a world where
women sometimes aren't respected. I liked Gabe, but
honestly, of the three guys, I think he's my least
favorite. Payton's story is next (ENIGMA, 6/05) and then I
can't wait -- Nigel's (EXPOSURE, 9/05). I've read the first
two books so far and recommend them to anyone wanting some
action in their romances.
FBI criminal profiler Madison Harper understands dangerous
minds.Tough, tenacious, with nerves of steel, she's the
best of the best. So is her new partner, Gabriel Rourke, a
crack CIA operative who likes to do things his way. When
the two are forced to jointly head up a task force
investigating murder in high places — it's no surprise
that sparks begin to fly.
As Madison and Gabriel race through a shadow world of
power, politics and deadly secrets, the passion that
simmers between them soon ignites. But a clever killer at
the top of his game has challenged Madison to play to the
very end. Now all she can trust is her instincts — and
Gabriel, the one man reckless enough to keep her alive.…
