Final Jeopardy - A Jake Sledge Mystery
When a killer plays mind games with a fortune at stake, this fedora-wearing PI must solve the puzzle before someone he loves becomes the final answer.
The last time Jake worked with Jeopardy, she tried to kill him.
Final Jeopardy
Jeopardy Dupree is double trouble.
Former NFL star turned private investigator Jake Sledge knows better than to trust his new client. The last time he dealt with Jeopardy Dupree, her murderous alter ego Concentration nearly killed him. But when Jeopardy begs him to prove her brother Barker didn’t murder Sandy Akins, a nurse’s aide at River Bluffs Treatment Center, Jake can’t resist the challenge. The evidence points straight at Barker, who’s confessed to the crime. But something doesn’t add up, and Jake’s instincts tell him there’s a deadlier game in play.
The attacks come fast and deadly. Someone in a dark SUV tries to run Jake down. A mysterious woman assaults his girlfriend Allison, warning her to stay away from him. When Jake’s contacts start turning up dead, he realizes this case is more dangerous than any tackle he delivered on the football field. With his partner Bobo Johnson, a gentle giant with a strong faith, Jake navigates deadly deceptions while wrestling with his own post-traumatic demons and a growing conviction that he needs something more than his .45 and his vintage Delta 88 to survive.
In River City, there’s always trouble. As Jake closes in on the truth about the Dupree family’s dark secrets, the killer makes a desperate move that threatens everyone he loves. The game is rigged, the stakes are life and death, and in this round of Final Jeopardy, Jake Sledge is betting it all on finding answers before time runs out.
