Explosive, absorbing and absolutely fascinating, A Killer’s Game is a knock-down, drag-out brawl of a thriller with themes of revenge, justice and survival. By pitting twelve hired guns and a former-Army Ranger turned FBI agent against one another in a fight to the death, Isabella Maldonado has delivered a battle royale of a story that will have everyone talking.
The Chief of Staff for an influential US Senator is murdered on the streets of New York City, with FBI agent Daniela “Dani” Vega witnessing the whole thing. After a successful manhunt, the captured assassin agrees to turn informant to help the FBI nail the big fish in a larger case of corruption and mayhem. Together, Dani and her new informant infiltrate a band of killers and join them for what’s supposed to be a simple yet lucrative job. However, they soon find themselves locked in a secret and elaborate facility, entangled in a battle of wits and physical combat where only one of the thirteen individuals will live to see another day. Who has drawn these folks into this lethal game and why? Those are questions that can only be by answered by the architect of this vicious contest – a person calling themselves Nemesis. And Dani intends to be the one to emerge victorious, confront Nemesis and bring them down along with the entire conspiracy.
It takes a very creative and devious mind to come up with the twisted and bloodthirsty game that Dani and the twelve assassins are thrust into. I can’t begin to fathom how someone comes up with something so intensely dark and brutal. But as readers we should be appreciative that Isabella Maldonado’s brain produced this devilish plot. Because it’s completely entrancing, enveloping the reader in a sinister world filled with havoc and savagery born from backing dangerous individuals into a corner. A world where your wits and calculations are as important as your pure strength, close quarters combat skills and pure will to survive. A chess match born in hell. It’s glorious!
Do yourself a favor and do not sleep on A Killer’s Game. The story is exhilarating, the pacing is at breakneck speed, the characters are tremendous and the action is ruthless. It’s not to be missed.
