A city in darkness. A building in lockdown. A score that can only be settled in blood…
Working off the books for FBI Special Agent Alex Monroe, Florida bounty-hunter Lori Anderson and her partner, JT, head to Chicago. Their mission: to entrap the head of the Cabressa crime family. The bait: a priceless chess set that Cabressa is determined to add to his collection.
An exclusive high-stakes poker game is arranged in the penthouse suite of one of the city’s tallest buildings, with Lori holding the cards in an agreed arrangement to hand over the pieces, one by one. But, as night falls and the game plays out, stakes rise and tempers flare.
When a power failure plunges the city into darkness, the building goes into lockdown. But this isn’t an ordinary blackout, and the men around the poker table aren’t all who they say they are. Hostages are taken, old scores resurface and the players start to die.
And that’s just the beginning…
My Review; This is book four in the Lori Anderson series. Another series I have come into late. However, I do have the previous books so can go back to the beginning. So this is a first read of this author. It does refer back to the previous book so probably best read in order. I could tell that even though I came late into this series that Lori has faced a lot before this book…
Her character blew me away. She’s fearless. A thinker. Clever. Determined. Confident. Strong and brave. I love her. It helps and supports her character with how much JT helps and is there for her. Deep Dark Night is tense, fast paced, full throttle, thrilling, gripping and heart pounding. My heart was in my throat many times reading this… I was on edge, gasping. I was flicking the pages for fun. There is never a dull moment in this book.
Things start to turn deadly. It’s literally survival for most of this book. Get out alive. Trust noone. Be prepared for death, blood, guns, secrets, lies and plenty of fights. Face your fears I faced mine… Heights and lifts/elevators. Made me feel a little sick. When Loris got a job she gets it done whatever the outcome. She does not mess around.
A well deserved four stars. Highly recommend I cant wait to dive into this series now I have had a glimpse.
