Nicholas Colt: world-class guitarist with a crippled hand, private investigator with a revoked license. His cash-under-the-table “security consultant” jobs are few and far between, but his crumbling self-confidence finally gets a boost when a young woman with deep pockets comes to him for help.
Wanda Taylor has a terminal illness, and she wants to find her biological father before she dies. Unfortunately, Colt soon discovers that the father in question was shot dead two years earlier in Key West. With his client determined to see that justice is served, Colt heads down there with more questions than answers.
And, with a serial killer known as The Zombie — a brutal psychopath who saws off the tops of his victims’ heads, scoops out their brains, and reassembles their skulls with Krazy Glue — on the loose, it’s no wonder some of the locals have redubbed the island Key Death.

When an affluent young accountant receives a threatening letter — a mandate to come and play an ultraviolent video game called Snuff Tag 9 — he hires rock-star-turned-PI Nicholas Colt to find answers. Colt assumes the letter is a scam, but a four-hundred-pound psychopath 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 compete, Colt suddenly finds himself one of nine players in an outrageous game of attrition. One of nine pawns captured and manipulated for the perverse entertainment of a sadistic billionaire.
And the only way for Colt to survive is to kill the other eight.
