Maxine Shaw The Deadly Game Author's Edition

By Anthony H Baltimore Sr.

When beautiful, brash, hard-nosed public defender Maxine Olivia Shaw is handed a seemingly unwinnable murder case - a wealthy young Cincinnati socialite dead, and a terrified client who won't say a word - her instinct to dig deeper leads her to a mysterious website that was better left alone.

In an instant, Maxine is thrust into a secret game of life and death: a shadow organization of pawns, knights, and rooks where disobedience means a bullet, and no one is who they claim to be. As the bodies pile up and the people she loves become targets, Maxine will face heartbreak, betrayal, and a truth that cuts closer to home than she ever imagined.

She didn't ask to play. But she'll be damned if she loses.

Sharp, profane, and relentlessly propulsive, Maxine Shaw: The Deadly Game introduces one of the most unforgettable heroines in urban crime fiction - a woman who refuses to be anyone's pawn.
