The Poker Game by Tom Wallace is the story of an epic murder mystery that turned out to be the biggest challenge Lexington's finest homicide detective Jack Dantzler had ever faced. Detective Jack Dantzler has handled and solved countless homicides during the two and half decades he has been on the job. However, even he has never seen a case quite like this. Five poker players, including a judge, have just been murdered and Detective Dantzler and his team are determined to bring their killer to justice. This, however, is not going to be an easy task. The five victims belonged to a super-private poker group whose details were only known to the members, all of whom are now dead, with the exception of one whose identity remains a big mystery. The more the detectives dig into the case, the more questions they accumulate, with very little on the side of answers - yet the body count just keeps going up. Then the team seems to catch a much needed break when an apparent suicide appears to give them the answers they are looking for. Detective Dantzler, however, feels that this is a bit too convenient and is determined to dig deeper until he finds the real answers he is looking for.

Tom Wallace crafted an entangled web of relationships and intentions into one captivating murder mystery. The Poker Game is put together in such a way that it immediately draws the reader in and then the plot only keeps thickening. With each new chapter, the mystery deepens even further as more characters enter the plot. Each new character adds a fresh layer of mystery. The Poker Game by Tom Wallace will have your mind spinning with theories until the very end. Just when you think you have it all figured out, Tom Wallace throws in yet another twist that has you questioning your theories and examining your list of suspects. Evidence and facts are revealed at just the right time and not a moment before. The Poker Game by Tom Wallace is guaranteed to capture the minds of murder mystery fans and give them an amazing reading experience.
