Wild Game

By Blayne Davis

A backstage pass into a world you never knew existed. Inside a ruthlessly played game that will leave you speechless.

An unlikely betrayal sets off a chain reaction that puts the AQSR Group on the radar of the FBI and international police. Investigators and prosecutors start to unravel a sophisticated conspiracy that shocks to the core. They have the case of a lifetime and won't stop until they get what they want. But they've met their match with opponents equally determined not to get caught.

***MY HONEST REVIEW OF WILD GAME***

Mitchell was top dog in the world of high stakes sport gambling. His business created and used an algorithm program that consistently gave winning odds. The deep, dark secret though, was that Mitchell was running a con of fixing professional sports outcomes. But just when he thinks he is invincible, he gets word of unexpected betrayal from a friend. This puts him in the crosshairs of the federal government. Knowing he is being investigated, he tries to cover his tracks. But as one thing gets taken care of, two more emerges. Will Mitchell be able to plug the holes and stay on top, or will each betrayal bring him closer to prison?

In the beginning, going back and forth with so many characters involved and their geographical locations, it was confusing. I started out hating that this book was so long, but in the end loving that it took the time to really capture all the layers of each participant involved. I hate to say it, but I was rooting for Mitchell and his gang. At least most of them. I liked that the author depicted the lawyers and public agents as being greedier con artists than the bad guys. It was interesting to see the inner workings of both sides.
