Description:
Ghosts may never die, but the girls found in the Kennicott Ghost Town aren't so lucky...
And luck is the killer's MO. He plays games of chance with his victims. Some are released if they win, but others are forced to go all-in. Poker chips, dice, lottery slips are left in the hands of the deceased as a taunting reminder of the killer's cruel designs.
High-profile victims are showing up in the abandoned Alaskan town, amidst the desolate buildings and old copper mineshafts. The daughter of a mayor, the wife of a police chief-the killer seems to be escalating.
Agent Ella Porter finds herself entangled in a deadly cat-and-mouse game with a cunning killer. As bodies begin to pile up, thrown down old copper mineshafts, Ella races against time to solve the case before more lives are claimed.
But following a shocking revelation of blackmail, and months of secrecy, Ella realizes the case isn't at all what she first thought.
As Ella delves deeper into the twisted psyche of the killer, she unearths a haunting history that connects the present-day crimes to the forgotten past of the ghost town.

An avid cultivator of orchids, begonias, and all things floral, Georgia also has a strong penchant for art, paintings, and sculptures. A many-decades long passion for mystery novels.
