Reviews
"The Gameis the funniest, most blistering read of this summer. If your heart doesn't race as you near the climactic scene, you're already dead."  -Recommended Reads, "Gruesome, suspenseful, and rich with dark humor, Armstrong moves the reader through time and space with a keen sense of momentum and dash. His characters are diverse, bold, unforgettable . . . Armstrong's swashbuckling Scotsman is a welcome addition in the thriller tradition of Weisman and Connolly." -- "ForeWord Reviews", "Shakes up the mystery genre by delving into the bizarre world of reality television. Alban Bane, a cop with enough Scot's attitude for ten good men, lets the zingers fly as he tries to figure out who's killing off staff and contestants in 'Haunted Survivor,' a show where ethically challenged producers are gleefully driving the 'house guests' out of their minds." - In the Hills, "The Gameis reality TV at its worst . . . with all their activities televised to audiences in real time . . . having a gruesome murder occur there . . . makes it a top priority for Alban Bane.

I really like this character; he's intelligent, determined and very funny. Right up there with John Corey, Nelson DeMille's wisecracking NYPD detective." -- Dan Ronco, author, "Peacemaker", "Gruesome, suspenseful, and rich with dark humor, Armstrong moves the reader through time and space with a keen sense of momentum and dash.

Synopsis
In this darkly humorous thriller, reality television becomes too real when a killer with a message preys on the contestants of America's number one TV show. A high-stakes game is played on the set of a live-broadcast, reality-television show where guests are trapped for six months in a haunted mansion. Thousands of miles away, a psychopath is executed by lethal injection in California and dies with a secret that could save many lives. Only a comical detective who fears nothing--except his teenage daughters--can hope to understand what links these two seemingly unrelated crimes, without ever losing his zest for the game or his sense of humor., In this darkly humorous thriller, reality television becomes too real when a killer with a message preys on the contestants of America's number one TV show.
