Patricia's Play Not all good luck is Good

Patricia's Play

by Cheryl Manning

Beneath the smoky lights of a New York bar, Patricia Towles plays a dangerous game. By day she’s a stunning redhead gambler with a knack for picking winners. By night, she’s listening to the whispers of mobsters and murderers through a hidden bug planted in a made man’s office phone.

Her seduction of Sal Lucio—a connected, careless crime boss—has made her nearly a million dollars in rigged bets. But when a State Senator ends up dead, Patricia hears something through her earpiece she was never meant to hear… and realizes her next mark might be herself.

With her cover slipping and her name on a hit list, Patricia has one last play to make. She can cash out and vanish—or reveal who she really is: Special Agent Patricia Johnson, FBI.

Smart, sexy, and loaded with twists, Patricia’s Play is a taut noir thriller of deception, desire, and double lives—where every bet comes with a price, and the house always wins.
