About Dark Bet

"After obtaining a signed confession from the murderer on her last case, Detective Charli Cross was looking forward to a good night's sleep. Instead, she returns to a ransacked home, and later discovers a chilling threat--secured to her door with a butcher knife. Will she ever get a moment of peace? The investigation of these personal threats is put on hold when the body of an elderly woman is discovered in Bonaventure Cemetery--the very place where Charli's best friend was kidnapped from years before. Why would anyone kill a sweet, seventy-year-old lady whose only vice appears to be her love of gambling? A brick of heroin Charli finds on the woman's front porch offers a clue. But nothing adds up. Was the murder a deal gone bad, a botched robbery, or something far worse? When a second victim is killed in the same cemetery days later, it points toward a chilling pattern. Charli needs to decipher the rules of this lethal game before the stakes reach unprecedented heights. The gamble? Life itself" --
