Book Overview

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Seeing Red delivers a gripping story of obsession and its deadly consequences--where nobody's playing by the rules. After five long years in federal prison, Griff Burkett is a free man. But the disgraced quarterback can never return to life as he knew it before he was caught cheating. In a place where football is practically a religion, Griff committed a cardinal sin, and no one is forgiving. Foster Speakman, owner and CEO of SunSouth Airlines, and his wife, Laura, are a golden couple. Successful and wealthy, they lived a charmed life before fate cruelly intervened and denied them the one thing they wanted most--a child. It's said that money can't buy everything. But it can buy a disgraced football player fresh out of prison and out of prospects. The job Griff agrees to do for the Speakmans demands secrecy. But he soon finds himself once again in the spotlight of suspicion. An unsolved murder comes back to haunt him in the form of his nemesis, Stanley Rodarte, who has made Griff's destruction his life's mission. While safeguarding his new enterprise, Griff must also protect those around him, especially Laura Speakman, from Rodarte's ruthlessness. Griff stands to gain the highest payoff he could ever imagine, but cashing in on it will require him to forfeit his only chance for redemption...and love. Griff is now playing a high-stakes game, and at the final whistle, one player will be dead. Play Dirty is a wild ride, with hairpin turns all along the way. The clock is ticking down on a fallen football star, who lost everything because of the way he played the game. Now his future--his life--hinges on one last play.

Sandra Brown at her very best!

Whether you are an avid fan of Sandra Brown’s work or not, Play Dirty is a must read page-turner from the first chapter. The reader is pulled into every emotion possible in a great mystery read which neatly embodies suspense, concern for her characters, curiosity, mysterious clues, and continuous plot development. Just when you think you can put this book down to attend to your daily chores, Brown throws another caveat at you forcing you to put off those chores. From literary writing style, to layered characters, to multi-faceted plots, Brown is a creative genius. And none of her writings shows it more clearly than Play Dirty.

THANK YOU Sandra for another great book. Lots of twist and turns and the tender sexual tention of the main characters terrific.

Good Read!

I love most books written by Sandra Brown. This was a good story. No, I didn't love the characters initially. They were all flawed. Some more than others but it made for an interesting story. Some scenes were so visually clear that days later I mentally flash on them. I read this in one day. Didn't skim or skip ahead. That's the mark of a good story for me.

5-Star Page Turner

Sandra Brown hits pay dirt with this novel. It has everything suspense,mystery and excitement. The novel starts out with disgraced football star Griff Burkhart who at the end of his ropes after doing time for a crime he didn't commit. He's offered a chance to get much-needed cash but the catch is to impregnated Forrester's wife since he can't have children of his own. But alas this just the beginning. You will enjoyed every moment of this novel. It's worth every penny.
