Shot Clock

Basketball star Garrett's brother has been kidnapped – and if he doesn't fix the NBA championship, Jake will be dead before the final buzzer, in this edge-of-the-seat thriller set in the dark, criminal underbelly of Sin City
Caitlin Glass had aspirations of becoming a professional basketball player until an injury ended her college career. Now a small-town police officer with a husband and young son, she's watched with envy as her ex-boyfriend, Garrett Streeter, became a star. But as Garrett leads his team to the NBA Finals, he suddenly shows up at her door, asking for help.
Garrett's brother has been kidnapped. If Garrett wants Jake to survive, he has to do the unthinkable: cheat, and fix the championship series.
If they don't track Jake down before the final buzzer, he'll be dead. Putting aside her deep misgivings, she dives into the dark, criminal underbelly of glitzy Las Vegas while the clock is ticking, and the seconds Jake has to live are running out . . .
