Synopsis

Special Agent Kari Wheeler may have made the worst decision of her life.The deeper she digs into the new assignment she unwisely accepted, investigating corruption in the Philadelphia strip club industry, the more her work threatens everything she values most—her FBI career, her marriage, even the closely held secrets of her painful past.Her new case has her gathering the evidence to prove that a corrupt city official is accepting bribes and breaking the same adult entertainment laws he’s supposed to enforced. But when Kari enters the seductive world of high-end clubs and sleazy strip joints, she faces temptations too difficult to resist. Before she becomes the star of a media scandal that could sidetrack the corruption investigation and trial, the married mother-of-three must devise a counter plan to protect all at risk of being destroyed.How far will she go?Written by retired FBI agent Jerri Williams, Pay To Play is inspired by true crime FBI cases featuring extortion, sex, money, and more. It is gritty and raw, with strong language, and is the first book in this Philadelphia FBI corruption squad series.Buy your copy today!

Goodreads review by Vera Mottino on June 29, 2017

Flat writing and errors I feel that I must explain the measly two stars when there are so many positive four stars in the reviews, but I was not able to continue reading this story. The flat writing and vocabulary errors and gratuitous titillating details really turned me off. I do hope that this boo......more
