Publisher Description
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 -- 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 future—his life—hinges on one last play.

"The hero is a criminal and the heroine is married to someone else. And one of the bad guys is a cop. This is not your typical murder mystery. Once I was past the half way point, I had trouble putting the book down. Satisfying ending, everyone got what they deserved. "
— Carol (4 out of 5 stars)

" Great mystery and very fast read. Very entertaining from beginning to end. I love this author's style. While she is telling the main story, she very subtly throws in information on the character's backgrounds. It keeps you guessing and keeps you interested. "

" The characters in this book confused me at first, and the author played a maddening game of "I'll tell you later," but in the end, once I got with the tempo, it was a fun little ride. "
— Brett, 9/27/2011 -

— Ralph, 8/6/2011 -
" I'm not sure how to review this book. The premise was good but on the whole, the characters had a cardboard feeling to them. Also the plot was full of whole but there were some fun surprises and nice character interactions. "
