Finally we're playing a game. A game that I have chosen... Late one summer evening, Detective Kim Stone arrives at the scene of a horrific crime: a woman in her sixties tied to a swing with barbed wire. The dead woman was a retired professor of child psychology, and when two more bodies are found bearing the same markings, Kim knows she is on the hunt for a serial killer. The only thing linking the victims are tournaments for gifted children... Kim and her team are up against one of the most ruthless killers they've ever encountered. The clues lie in investigating every child who attended the tournaments, dating back decades. Faced with hundreds of potential leads, can Kim get inside the mind of a killer and stop another murder before it's too late?The addictive crime thriller from multi-million-copy, number one bestseller Angela Marsons explores the dark side of child prodigies and will have you absolutely hooked.
