The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Seeing Red delivers a
gripping story of obsession and its deadly consequences--where nobody's
playing by the rules.
After five long years in federal prison, Griff Burkett is a free man.
But the disgraced quarterback can never return to life as he knew it
before he was caught cheating. In a place where football is practically
a religion, Griff committed a cardinal sin, and no one is forgiving.
Foster Speakman, owner and CEO of SunSouth Airlines, and his wife,
Laura, are a golden couple. Successful and wealthy, they lived a charmed
life before fate cruelly intervened and denied them the one thing they
wanted most--a child. It's said that money can't buy everything. But it
can buy a disgraced football player fresh out of prison and out of
prospects.
The job Griff agrees to do for the Speakmans demands secrecy. But he
soon finds himself once again in the spotlight of suspicion. An unsolved
murder comes back to haunt him in the form of his nemesis, Stanley
Rodarte, who has made Griff's destruction his life's mission. While
safeguarding his new enterprise, Griff must also protect those around
him, especially Laura Speakman, from Rodarte's ruthlessness. Griff
stands to gain the highest payoff he could ever imagine, but cashing in
on it will require him to forfeit his only chance for redemption...and
love.
Griff is now playing a high-stakes game, and at the final whistle, one
player will be dead.
Play Dirty is a wild ride, with hairpin turns all along the way. The
clock is ticking down on a fallen football star, who lost everything
because of the way he played the game. Now his future--his life--hinges
on one last play.
