The Card Counter is the kind of crime fiction novel that winds you up and sets you on a thrilling chase alongside Detective Devon Walker as he tries to unravel the mystery of a growing list of murdered college football players in his city. The plot keeps you guessing as the story unfolds, bringing in the human element of Devon's struggling family life and his tireless efforts to do his duty as the Card Counter serial killer wreaks havoc in the community. The novel is well written with a fast pace, a flair for the imaginative, a wonderful use of vivid imagery that paints the picture perfectly and a main character that feels authentic and real even as the  murder conspiracies abound. From beginning to end this was an enjoyable and suspenseful thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time.
