Evil Games

The Shadows of Deception

When Detective Kim Stone arrives in the quiet village of Trinford, she expects a simple missing‐person case. Instead, she uncovers a chilling tableau: a child’s abandoned bicycle in the mist, bloodstained footprints leading to an ancient oak, and a community tightly bound by long-buried secrets. In Evil Games, Angela Marsons plunges readers into a labyrinth of deceit where every neighbor is a suspect and every confession casts doubt. As Kim delves deeper, she realizes that the most dangerous predators may be those hiding in plain sight—masters of manipulation who play with innocence as if it were a mere pawn in a ruthless game.

Threads of Fear

Guided by her relentless instincts and haunted by her own fractured past, Kim assembles a ragtag team of allies: a forensic archaeologist whose breakthroughs unearth more questions than answers; a seasoned detective wrestling with grief; and a well-meaning schoolteacher torn between loyalty and moral duty. Together, they trace a web of sinister coincidences—from cryptic text messages sent at dawn to unsettling gatherings in deserted playgrounds. Marsons’s razor-sharp prose ratchets up the tension with every turning page, her vivid descriptions rendering the village’s winding lanes and shadowed woodlands almost sentient, as if the land itself conspires to conceal a monstrous truth.

Confronting the Darkness

As the investigation threatens to spiral out of control, Kim must confront her deepest fears and risk everything to unmask a perpetrator who thrives on torment. In a heart-stopping finale beneath a blood-red moon, she races against time to rescue the innocent and expose a conspirator whose cruelty knows no bounds. Evil Games is not just a crime thriller—it is a haunting exploration of the human capacity for evil, the resilience of the human spirit, and the fierce determination required to restore justice when the rules have been rewritten.
