Description
Temple, Texas Police Detective, Barry Marshall hunts for a hardened serial killer with the ultimate endgame, one intended to strip Marshall of everything he holds dear—his career, his wife Erin, and his reputation.
Unbeknownst to Marshall, the killer had dated Erin years ago, and seeing Marshall with her pushes him over the edge. Determined to punish Marshall for stealing his beloved, the killer plays a deadly cat-and-mouse game of murder. As the body count rises, Marshall is forced to face his worst nightmare.
Advance Praise
Addictive and fast-paced with strong characters and a terrifying climax. The serious tone of the novel creates an atmosphere of fear and anxiety.
US Review of Books
A killer is messing with Barry Marshall's head--and with everything he holds dear. That sets the stage for Alan Brenham's chilling, twisting, rocketing thriller, Game Piece (Black Opal Books), in which Marshall is the game piece that the killer is coldly, cruelly maneuvering. But what's the endgame? And can Marshall turn the game? Can he stop being used, being played? Just as the killer has messed with Marshall's head, the author has wonderfully messed with ours.

A serial killer is determined to destroy the marriage and life of Temple, Texas Detective Barry Marshall. He will play a game with Barry as the “game piece” as he slowly pursues his destruction. Barry is married to Elin with a young daughter, Cailey. He is beginning to realize that he has allowed his job as an honest and good detective to keep him from his personal life with his family…too many dates cancelled…to many family events missed. Can Barry defeat this anonymous foe and rescue his marriage to Erin? Why is this man pursuing Barry in such a diabolical manner? A very enjoyable mystery with many twists that keep you guessing until the very end. I received a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to give an honest review. (by paytonpuppy)

I enjoyed this book even though I had a pretty good idea halfway through who the killer would be, even if I didn't know all the backstory to why he was the killer. I would probably read something else by this author in the future.
