Playing the Hand She's Dealt - David Fingerman

Louise Miller's life is in a downward spiral. Unemployed and with a newly acquired gambling addiction, she comes home from the casino to find the door unlocked and a corpse propped up on her sofa. The dead man is Walter Farkos, a man she arrested prior to resigning from the Minneapolis PD. Now Farkos' murderer is obsessed with a sadistic game of cat and mouse. The ultimate goal - destroy Miller piece by piece. If Miller doesn't stop this maniac she may not only forfeit her own life, but the lives of those she loves.
