Fair Game — Rochelle Majer Krich

A PLAYFULLY DANGEROUS KILLER, A DANGEROUSLY PLAYFUL GAME.

Bodies with bank deposit slips and money attached to them. A new corpse with, of all things, a parking ticket. The city of Los Angeles has enough troubles without this new, insane rash of killings. And Detective Jessie Drake has problems of her own. Her ex-husband keeps barging back into her life and her visiting sister and nephew are starting to look like permanent houseguests. As the clues mount, she must face it all, including childhood memories that seem somehow connected to the murderer's twisted pattern. When yet another body turns up on the boardwalk in Venice, the playing pieces start to fall into place and Jessie is appointed the department spokesperson. She goes on TV and the killer is watching... counting his money, rolling the dice, and planning his next move against his last opponent-Jessie Drake.
