Circle Game continues the adventures of Private Investigator and ex-FBI agent Shana Niguel and her lover, Kate Wolf, as they return in Book 3 of the Shana Niguel Mystery Series. Following the harrowing New York case that turned her life upside down, Shana is exhausted but happier and more settled than she has ever been. After two years of unadulterated bliss with her partner Kate, and a mesmerizing year of intermittent panic and discovery as a new parent, Shana is little prepared for the detour her life is about to take.The mystery, a psychological whodunit, begins in the hands of Shana's four-year-old adopted daughter, who finds the first clue in the single murder that will point to a series of others, which have their pivotal origins in decades-old twisted philosophies. Shana will learn about the extremes to which humans can go, to try to bring an entire world to its knees. Shana's life takes another bewildering and upsetting turn when her ex-girlfriend, Special Agent Karen Stone, is brought on board as critical and indispensable to the success of the investigation. The pairing, combined with the antics and support of the delightful and irrepressible cast of family and friends from the first two books, makes for a map that is littered with emotional, and often comical, landmines as the two work together to discover the truth behind the serial murders... a truth that is as compelling as it is chilling.
