Snuff Tag 9

Nicholas Colts career as a lead guitarist ended with a crushed hand, and his career as a licensed private investigator ended with a narcotics conviction. Since then, hes had some luck making money under the table as a security consultant. But good luck has a habit of going bad for Colt. Like when he takes the case of an affluent young accountant who has received a threatening lettera mandate to come and play an ultraviolent video game called Snuff Tag 9. Colt figures the letter is a scam, but a psychotic four-hundred- pound billionaire known only as Freeze quickly proves him wrong. Freeze, it seems, is populating his version of the game with real people. Kidnapped and outfitted with a device that will stop his heart if he refuses to join in, Colt finds himself deep in the Okefenokee Swamp huntingand being hunted byeight people he has never met, has nothing againstand must kill to survive.
