About this listen
There’s no rule book for this deadly game.
When Samantha’s friend and sometimes boss AJ Gunn is accused of murdering the star quarterback for the Oregon pro-team she knows three things:
- No way is AJ guilty even if he doesn’t have a solid alibi
- This is not a one gal PI gig, she’s going to need help
- Rich people are crazy
If Samantha thought she was out of her element in Wind River, investigating in a new town is like working in a foreign land. Looking for a real suspect, Samantha meets a host of powerful characters with deep pockets and dark secrets. They’re dangerous and strike fast. And Samantha knows too much. She’ll have to watch her back.
If not, AJ will go to jail for life and Samantha could end up paying the ultimate penalty.
Warning: May cause spontaneous laughter. This mystery offers witty banter, characters you'll want to be friends with, and is a perfect escape to the Pacific Northwest. Laughing out loud in public may cause curious glances from strangers.

Story
Three reasons I’m getting in a car with a stranger by Josie Woodmere: My piece-of-crap car is on fire on the side of the highway, the guy in the truck doesn’t look like a murderer...in fact, he’s hot, and even if he tries something, I’m confident I could take him. The hottie in the truck, Brinn McRae, turns out to be straitlaced and so not my type. Plus, I’m not looking for romance. I have to find a job and my estranged brother. I don’t know if he’s man I want, but I’m positive I’m the girl he needs.
