Ill-Gotten Games: A Scott Drayco Mystery Short Story
About this audiobook
Tick tock, you lose.
The clock is ticking as crime consultant Scott Drayco and "the world's most diminutive defense attorney" Benny Baskin play games with a dangerous killer to save an innocent man from going to jail. Why is the killer texting cryptic poems to Drayco on his cellphone about stolen Egyptian figurines, and what do the messages mean? Was the murder a crime of opportunity or was it planned all along for more sinister reasons? Drayco races around Washington, D.C, to find the answers and avoid becoming a puppet as the killer pulls the strings.
