To be officially elected Governor of Illinois, interim Governor Monty Sanderson and his investigative IBI team must prove the assassinated governor's secret deals with the Chicago Mob. Yet the hand Monty is dealt ups the ante: African warlords and a massacre that left a beautiful woman devastated and driven to revenge. Corrupt politicians, Mob hits, a deadly drug run, kidnapping, and explosions that sear the truth from the lies that have corrupted the state for years—all combine to determine who will win the final hand of the ASSASSIN'S GAME.
