Once the plan is set in motion things heat up as Red and his men literally fight for their lives. The question is... even with the necessary clout and the ability to pull the right strings... can Red survive Zintera's onslaught? As one reviewer writes. "With a fantastic storyline and brilliant characters this book is action packed right to the last page. Imaginative subplots, revenge, passion, love and betrayal, the Starlight Club 7 has it all, and is definitely a winner for all crime thriller fans. As it closes, I ask myself, although this book is called 'End Game' is it truly the end of an era? As the last page is read, only one person has that answer, and that's the author, Joe Corso."
