About this book

In this gripping standalone novel from USA TODAY bestselling romantic suspense author Colleen Coble, a wealthy hotel heiress goes to Jekyll Island certain her friend's death wasn't an accident--and gets more than she bargained for when the killer begins to play mind games with her. Even though Torie Bergstrom hasn't been back to Georgia since she was ten, she was happy to arrange a job for her best friend at one of the family properties on Jekyll Island.

But when Torie learns that Lisbeth has drowned, she knows it is more than a tragic accident: Lisbeth was terrified of water and wouldn't have gone swimming by choice. Torie goes to the hotel under an alias, desperate to find answers. When she meets Joe Abbott and his daughter while they are rescuing baby sea turtles, she can only hope they are as trustworthy as they seem. And when someone begins to play mind games with her, proving they know her real identity, Torie couldn't be more grateful to have an ally. The more Torie and Joe dig, the more elusive the truth seems. But one thing is clear: someone will risk anything--even another murder--to keep their secrets buried. A Stranger's Game will keep you guessing until the very end with its complex puzzle, threats from both the past and the present, clean romance, and fascinating glimpses into the sea life around Jekyll Island. Discussion questions for book clubs are also included.
