When a respected Oxford academic is found murdered with a Nerf gun, DI Joseph Stone is pulled into one of his most bewildering cases yet. What first looks like a bizarre prank soon reveals itself to be the opening move in a deadly game of betrayal, revenge, and psychological torment.
As Stone digs deeper, he uncovers dark secrets hidden beneath Oxford's spires-secrets some will kill to protect. But every clue leads him closer to the truth that the killer is playing by their own rules, and Joseph himself may already be a pawn in the game.
With his career and his closest allies under threat, Stone must outwit a mind as cunning as it is ruthless. Because in Oxford, where history and ambition collide, the games people play can turn lethal.
The Games People Play is a gripping British crime thriller with real heart, complex characters, and a detective you'll want to follow through every twist and turn. Perfect for fans of Peter James, Val McDermid, and Ian Rankin.
