USA Today bestselling author Dean Wesley Smith takes to the links with his latest fast-paced thriller.

Seattle detectives Craig and Bonnie Frakes want nothing more than to enjoy each other’s company and their golf vacation in Scottsdale. They need the rest.

But their vacation plans take a sudden turn when they overhear a conversation between two men plotting a murder—the murder of someone very powerful.

Outside their jurisdiction and unsure whom to trust, the Frakes must plan each move of their investigation carefully—or risk multiple lives, including their own.

“Dean Wesley Smith does for poker what James Patterson does for serial killers.”

—Sheldon McArthur, former owner of Mysterious Books in Los Angeles, on Dead Money

“[An] exhilarating political poker thriller.”

—Midwest Book Review on Dead Money
