Play Dead

By: Ted Dekker

Narrated by: A.W. Miller

The discovery of two teenagers ritualistically murdered in a secluded Austin park outrages a nation already on the brink of tearing itself apart. The victims are the latest in an epidemic of deaths linked to a mysterious, underground virtual game known only as Play Dead.

The forensic evidence soon points to Jamie Hamilton, a brilliant yet naive young man on the autism spectrum. But Angie Channing, a world-renowned true crime writer, isn't so sure. Could such a seemingly innocent person be capable of clinical brutality? Why the rush to silence him? What secrets are hidden in the world of Play Dead that are worth killing for? What if Jamie is the key to something far more sinister?

Angie quickly finds herself in a relentless game of cat and mouse that threatens far more than just her sanity or her life. How far will she go to uncover the shocking truth?

Enter a psychological thriller ripped from tomorrow's headlines that will haunt you until the last line. It is said that nothing is as it seems in the halls of power and that some truths are far too dangerous for the common man. Until now.

All his ownn

Ted Dekker is in a category All His Own. He is have you guessing and making assumptions until the very end. And then Boom! Just like that it all makes sense. This is a must listen to. 👂

Riveting

I have always liked Ted Dekker, this book takes you in the world of virtual reality, and you feel like you’re there, awesome book

Just not my favorite by Ted Dekker

I have read Ted Dekker for years and his books have always been page turners and kept my interest from the beginning. This one…. I struggled. For me it was very slow until the last third of the book and even then it wasn’t “I can’t put this down” it was “I just want to see how this ends…”
It took me a bit to just get through it. Very interesting premise, it’s a thinker. Just not as interesting or “thrilling” as his other books. For some this might be right up there alley. Great world building and well written, just not my cup of tea.

Mind Trip!

Challenges the perception of everyday reality. Deeper meaning woven throughout, in its entirety it is a masterpiece.
