Description
From award-winning author Meg Gardiner, co-author of Michael Mann's Heat 2 IGNORE THE SCREAMS. IT'S JUST PART OF THE GAME. Autumn wants something special for her twenty-first birthday. She has the sports car, the apartment, and the private college. Now she wants excitement. She's going to get it. Daddy has signed up Autumn and her friends for the "ultimate urban reality" game: a simulated drug deal, jailbreak, kidnapping, and manhunt. Authorities know all about it. That's why they're disregarding the cries for help. How convenient for a gang of players taking it to the next level. They're playing for real. When forensic psychiatrist Jo Beckett and her partner, Gabe Quintana, are pulled into the game, the stakes are raised. After all, nobody wants to spoil Autumn's fun. And nobody is leaving this party alive.

Reviews
Praise for Meg Gardiner:
"Meg Gardiner is as good as Michael Connelly and far better than Janet Evamovich. And she can be fall-on-your-fanny hilarious...The next suspense superstar."
-Stephen King
"Stephen King is absolutely right. Meg Gardiner is an astonishing writer, and "The Dirty Secrets Club" is a humdinger of a thriller, with shocks and twists gaore. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough."
-Tess Gerristsen
"A winner in every way. "The Dirty Secrets Club" is nuanced and layered-and a harrowing thriller that chews up the streets of San Francisco from the high-rises to the Tenderloin. Meg Gardiner makes every one of her characters leap alive off the page, and I personally am in love with the most compelling of them all, Jo Beckett-the psychiatrist who analyzes dead people for the cops and who's willing to trade her cell phone for a cup of coffee."
