If anyone deserves a long weekend of relaxing in California wine country, it’s Jessica ‘JJ’ Jansen and her partner, Kristyn Reynolds. While barely escaping with their lives when bringing down the demented killers behind the infamous Murder Game, only to be hunted by an equally deranged killer named Brookes Williamson while serving as producers and screenwriters on the film adaptation of the Murder Game case, they more than earned some time to relax and reconnect. And what better place to get away from it all than Napa, with its world class wineries, restaurants, and spas. A place where you can escape from the real world and all of its problems. At least, that is, until those bad things find you.
JJ and Kristyn follow a twisted trail of clues, risking their lives to unmask a vicious serial killer that seems to choose their victims and the time and place of the murders at random. But in this lovely little slice of paradise, danger lurks around every corner. And sometimes, even the most beautiful and serene landscapes harbor the deadliest secrets.
When two men are killed inside of Dallas/Fort Worth airport – an off-duty FBI agent and his assailant – it triggers an investigation that uncovers one of the largest and most complex serial murder cases ever. FBI Special Agent Jessica ‘JJ’ Jansen, an experienced but troubled agent with a history of personal and job performance issues, is assigned to lead the investigation since it initially appears to be a simple and straightforward case, and in her boss’ eyes, a case that even she couldn’t screw up. As she starts digging into the 'why' surrounding the events at the airport, she discovers that the assailant was flying home from Washington, DC, after committing another murder. Feeling that there's more to the story than this one homicide, JJ is forced to enlist the help of a local investigative reporter (Kristyn Reynolds) to delve deeper into the mystery since her superiors are not even remotely convinced of her concerns.
A political action thriller/spy novel in the tradition of Tom Clancy, Robert Ludlum, Vince Flynn, and other top authors. Set in 2008, just before the upcoming presidential elections, it’s a ripped from the headlines tale about what happens when a UVA professor teaches a class called ‘The Politics of Conspiracy’ and, while delving into the many conspiracies surrounding 9/11, clandestine interests take notice and do everything they can from keeping anyone from stumbling onto ‘the truth’.

Hudson Raises the Bar! Having immensely enjoyed Let The Truth Be Told, I opened The Murder Game with great anticipation and was thrilled all the way through. Great character development and page-turning action sequences - but it was the plot that drives the reader onward. Starting with the mysterious airport episode and culminating in the diabolical scheme - I couldn’t stop reading!
