Fiction. Suspense. Thriller. HTML:The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Seeing Red is back with a gripping story of obsession and its deadly consequences.
After five long years in federal prison, Griff Burkett is a free man. But the disgraced Cowboys quarterback can never return to life as he knew it before he was caught cheating. In a place where football is practically a religion, Griff committed a cardinal sin, and no one is forgiving.

Foster Speakman, owner and CEO of SunSouth Airlines, and his wife, Laura, are a golden couple. Successful and wealthy, they lived a charmed life before fate cruelly intervened and denied them the one thing they wanted most â?? a child. It's said that money can't buy everything. But it can buy a disgraced football player fresh out of prison and out of prospects.

The job Griff agrees to do for the Speakmans demands secrecy. But he soon finds himself once again in the spotlight of suspicion. An unsolved murder comes back to haunt him in the form of his nemesis, Stanley Rodarte, who has made Griff's destruction his life's mission. While safeguarding his new enterprise, Griff must also protect those around him, especially Laura Speakman, from Rodarte's ruthlessness. Griff stands to gain the highest payoff he could ever imagine, but cashing in on it will require him to forfeit his only chance for redemption...and love.

Griff is now playing a high-stakes game, and at the final whistle, one player will be dead.

Play Dirty is Sandra Brown's wildest ride yet, with hairpin turns of plot all along the way. The clock is ticking down on a fallen football star, who lost everything because of the way he played the game. Now his futureâ??his lifeâ??hinges on one l

Foster Speakman, un excéntrico millonario parapléjico de Texas, ofrece medio millón de dólares a Griff Burkett, un ex quaterback de la NFL caído en desgracia que acaba de salir de prisión después de una condena de cinco años por chantaje, para que deje embarazada a su esposa, Laura. Foster insiste en que el niño sea concebido de forma natural. Griff acepta el trabajo, pues sus expectativas de futuro no son nada halagüeñas.
Entretanto, Stanley Rodarte, el taimado detective que arrestó a Griff que parece vivir para destruir la vida de Griff, está empeñado en cargarle con una homicidio sin resolver.
Mientras Griff protege su mueva empresa, debe también proteger a aquello que lo rodean, sobre todo a Laura Speakman, de Rodarte. Griff puede ganar la mayor recompensa que jamás pudo imaginar, pero sacar provecho de ello requerirá que perdiera su única oportunidad de redención... y de amor.
Griff juega ahora un arriesgado juego y cuando llegue el pitido final, uno de los jugadores estará muerto.

I couldn't put this book down. I really liked it mostly I think because Griff was such a flawed person. I liked that he went bad after having been given such a new start on life with his high school coach. So many novels have them all turned around and on the straight and narrow never to stray again. I get tired of shiny perfect heros all the time. The only thing that bothered me is that he didn't seriously look for a job after getting out of prison. He basically talked to one guy about a job. I'd have liked it better if he had beat the bushes a bit and tried sooner to straighten himself out and get an honest job. But I guess the point was, he was always looking for the easy money. Still I do like my flawed characters to grow and learn and he really didn't do that until the very end.

Still it was a page turner. Griff was a wonderfully drawn character and made the entire book. I choked up a couple of times. ( )

This book is full of twists and turns and keeps the reader wondering what will come next. After getting out of prison, Griff Burnett is hired by a wealthy man to get his wife pregnant. The entire situation must be kept secret at all costs, though.
Meanwhile, a dirty detective from Griff's past is trying to kill him. The book lures the reader in to the secrets, greed and lies. A good read ( )

Wasn't sure I would like the book at first. My interest built and the last 100 or so pages I couldn't put down until I finished. ( )
