About this Event

About the book:

An instant USA Today bestseller.

In a hard-hitting thriller from the author of Lights Out and Dangerous Play, reporter Kate Green courts danger once again when the famous subject of her next story is kidnapped during the US Open.

With a hard-won Emmy now gracing her mantel, sports reporter and former Olympian Kate Green turns her energy to the action unfolding in Flushing Meadows. Working on a feature for her weekly TV show, she spotlights two of today’s biggest female tennis stars: the sunny up-and-comer and the brash veteran. But the project goes sideways when one turns up missing.

Following an interview with Kate, one player receives a sinister text with a disturbing photo of the other woman, bound and gagged. Kate calls on her estranged father, an NYPD detective, for help in launching a search. Although wary he’s hiding something, she’s not sure where else to turn.

Their investigation leads to the victim’s hometown―and a growing list of suspects. The kidnapper threatens to spill secrets that could destroy lives. Tangled up in a deadly web of deceit, Kate races to connect the dots and find the missing player…before it’s too late.

About the authors:

Elise Hart Kipness is a USA Today bestselling author and former national TV sports reporter. She is known for the acclaimed Kate Green thriller series, which has been optioned for television by Universal Television and Mary J. Blige’s Blue Butterfly.

Her series has earned worldwide recognition, including Men’s Journal’s Top 10 Books of the Year, a Woman’s Day Must-Read Selection, and a Scripps News Beach Read Pick and has been featured on CBS Mornings+, CBS New York’s Club Calvi, People Magazine, and Newsday.

Like her fearless protagonist, Elise chased marquee athletes at the US Open and stood beneath the blinding lights of Madison Square Garden when she reported for FOX Sports Network. She also covered breaking news for WNBC-TV New York and the Associated Press.

Susan Walter is a recovering screenwriter and film director who started writing books to K*ll people because it was frowned upon in real life. Her first two novels, “Good as Dead” and “Over Her Dead Body” are set in the movie business, but then she discovered there are places that are even more dangerous. She is now murdering people on airplanes,
on ski hills, and in safehouses while on the run from organized crime. A sometimes director, her Netflix movie ALL I WISH, which she also wrote, stars Sharon Stone and Tony Goldwyn and won a screenwriting award that you have never heard of, but that she is proud of nonetheless.
