Ella Porter FBI #7
Girl's Luck Runs Out
Ghosts may never die, but the girls found in the Kennicott Ghost Town aren’t so lucky…
And luck is the killer’s MO. He plays games of chance with his victims. Some are released if they win, but others are forced to go all-in. Poker chips, dice, lottery slips are left in the hands of the deceased as a taunting reminder of the killer’s cruel designs.
High-profile victims are showing up in the abandoned Alaskan town, amidst the desolate buildings and old copper mineshafts. The daughter of a mayor, the wife of a police chief—the killer seems to be escalating.
Agent Ella Porter finds herself entangled in a deadly cat-and-mouse game with a cunning killer. As bodies begin to pile up, thrown down old copper mineshafts, Ella races against time to solve the case before more lives are claimed.
But following a shocking revelation of blackmail, and months of secrecy, Ella realizes the case isn’t at all what she first thought.
As Ella delves deeper into the twisted psyche of the killer, she unearths a haunting history that connects the present-day crimes to the forgotten past of the ghost town.

This is the 7th about FBI Agent Ella Porter and her partner/boyfriend Marshall Gunn. This time they are headed to a GhostTown. The governor's daughter has been kidnapped and with the clues that they are being lead to follow they wind up in an old Ghost Town and mine.
This serial killer hides in plain sight and Ella's luck just might run out this time. Escaping from the killer, being on an airplane that is ready to crash against a mountain, this will have you turning the pages.
Another exciting one following these two!!

Sometimes it's all about the luck of the draw.
Then other times it's about being able to trust the one dealing out the cards. This case has a maniacal psychopath on the loose who is obsessed with coins and the luck of the draw. Heads you win, tails you lose. Not much leeway for chance or recovery. Great thriller!

Opening chapters are so important for obvious reasons and chapter one in this novel grabs your attention and every breath you take. It's a work of art. Chilling and not because it's a winter in Alaska. A fantastic addition to a tense and gut-wrenching series. Very Highly Recommended.

another thriller
these series keep getting better and better. Thank you for another epic hit. That keeps me sitting on the edge of my seat and helps me get through my workouts. I’m looking forward to the next volume.

Luck Runs Out
I read the entire book in one sitting. It's rare to find a series that's more and more gripping the more you read its books. I am only upset that I know it has to end.
