Romance Suspense

New Game
The game is simple--he is the Hunter. They are the Prey. He gives them a chance to escape. To run. To hide. To outsmart him. But eventually, he catches them. And that's when the game gets really terrifying...

New Rules
Private investigator Griffin Powell and FBI agent Nicole Baxter know a lot about serial killers--they took one down together. But this new killer is as sadistic as they've ever seen. He likes his little games, and he especially likes forcing Nic and Griff to play along. Every unsolvable clue, every posed victim, every taunting phone call--it's all part of his twisted, elaborate plan. And then the Hunter calls, wanting to know if they're really ready to play...

But Winner Still Kills All...
There's a new game now, and it's much more deadly than the first. A brutal psychopath needs a worthy adversary. He won't stop until he can hunt the most precious prey of all--Nicole. And with his partner in a killer's sights, Griff is playing for the biggest stakes of his life.

Re: The Murder Game

There are a lot of options, the cards vary in value, but all in one way or
another affect the gameplay. As an element of randomness, when your
character, say, passes the next arena from the last strength, and a card
that allows you to heal, as luck would have it, does not fall out!
(Henrik Jensen 10:33am May 20, 2018)

In Forced Showdown, you can and should open new maps and improve
their deck. You earn money earned in military works on roulette in the
hope that some rare and useful thing will drop out. And even better, if
the crystals fall out, they are allowed to create a map of any value for
themselves (if there are enough resources, of course).
