Description

From USA Today bestselling and ITW Thriller Award-winning author Robert Swartwood, the first book in an exciting trilogy ...

Ben Anderson goes to bed Sunday night, lying next to his wife in the comfort and safety of their Pennsylvania family home, to wake up the next day in a rundown motel in California — alone.

He doesn't know how he got there, he doesn't know where his family is, and written in dried blood on the bathroom door are the words LET THE GAME BEGIN.

Soon Ben is contacted by Simon. Simon knows all there is to know about Ben, more than he cares to remember himself.

If Ben wants to save himself and his family, he will have to do everything Simon says.

As the game begins — with stakes much higher than either man can imagine — no one knows where it will lead or how it will end.

Only one thing is for certain: this time the game will change everything.

Man of Wax is the first book in a thriller trilogy where every day men and women must fight a power that threatens to destroy the world. Recommended for fans of Harlan Coben, David Baldacci, and Dean Koontz.

What a ride! From the first sentence to the last , I was holding my breath and and like the roller coaster of a ride this story had me on , I held on through the twist and turns until the last page. I couldn’t put it down if I wanted to. This story is packed full of adventure of the worst kind, As a man desperate to find his wife and child , in a sick and twisted game played out for those with enough money could pay to watch the suffering of the players of the game as they are forced to comply with the ruthless demands of the game master, Simon. In a sick and deadly game of ‘Simon says’. I can’t wait to read the next book as soon as I catch my breath . If you like the thrill of danger and adventure then you will love this story .
Good but gruesome mystery

I was not sure I would finish it when I started. It sucked me in and kept me turning pages though I was repulsed by the narrative.
