A Killer's Game

Daniela Vega, Book 1

By: Isabella Maldonado

Narrated by: Almarie Guerra, Feodor Chin

An FBI agent with a background in cryptography. A brilliant game maker bent on revenge. A deadly battle of wits and wills. An ingenious thriller from the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Cipher.

FBI agent and former military codebreaker Daniela “Dani” Vega witnesses a murder on a Manhattan sidewalk. The victim is chief of staff for a powerful New York senator. The assassin turned informant is Gustavo Toro. His code: hit the target and don’t ask questions. When Dani suspects a complex conspiracy, the only way to take down the mastermind is from the inside, forcing her to partner with Toro. Together they must infiltrate the inner circle at a remote facility.

Except it’s a trap. For all of them.

Locked in a subterranean labyrinth and held captive by an unseen host, Dani, Toro, and others must fight for their lives. Now Dani must stay undercover, unravel a bizarre conspiracy, and survive lethal puzzles. But will Toro be friend or foe? Because in this killer’s game, everything is real: the paranoia, the desperation, and the body count. And only one person can make it out alive.

Critic reviews

“Almarie Guerra and Feodor Chin bring this fast-paced thriller to life. Guerra tells the story from the point of view of Dani Vega, an FBI agent whose undercover assignment to infiltrate a band of assassins goes terribly awry.… Chin voices Nemesis and the team members as they set out on a race against time to save Dani. Chin's characterization of Nemesis is particularly strong; his voice sounds slightly altered, the significance of which becomes apparent as the plot unfolds and races to its conclusion.”—AudioFile Magazine

“…virtually brought to life by the truly exceptional narrative storytelling skills of Almarie Guerra and Feodor Chin…an unreservedly recommended pick.”—Midwest Book Review

“…Maldonado keeps the plot boiling and the bodies dropping to the end.”—Kirkus Reviews

Pure bubble gum

A competently told, fast-paced narrative perfectly suited for your morning commute. There isn’t much depth to the story, but it’s entertaining.
