Earthquake Games

The uniquely talented writer Bonnie Ramthun, a former war-gamer for the Department of Defense, once again flexes her doomsday imagination and insider's knowledge to brilliant effect in an exciting sequel to Ground Zero.

Major Jim Leetsdale appears to have committed suicide during a freak Colorado earthquake. But when Colorado Springs Homicide Detective Eileen Reed and her partner, Dave Rosen, go to investigate, they conclude that Leetsdale's death was a murder carefully orchestrated to appear to be a suicide. Jacob Mitchell, an ex-Senator with presidential ambitions, seems to be the key to the mystery, however his role in the murder is murky.

While distracted by a series of small earthquakes occurring in places not previously known to be located on fault lines, Eileen begins to unravel the connections between the suspicious suicide case and the earthquakes. Could it be that Mitchell is somehow behind the enigmatic earthquakes? A tension-fraught and emotional showdown in the Colorado Great Sand Dunes brings together all of the elements of Eileen's case: the power-hungry Mitchell, her friends from the CIA, plus a ghost from her past.

Filled with surprise and suspense, Earthquake Games is a thriller that manages to incorporate depth of character and emotion into its chilling plot.
