About this listen
"When the cheers of victory turn into the screams of innocence, Joey Mancuso, a relentless investigator, steps onto the darkened playing field where sports, crime, and justice collide."
"In the Shadows of the Game" follows the gripping tale of Randy Goldstein, a talented student athlete accused of a brutal murder that shakes the foundations of a prestigious university in Miami, Florida.
As the investigation unfolds, Joey Mancuso and his team discover a sinister underbelly: a crime syndicate exploiting female student athletes for explicit videos and orchestrating a clandestine network involving illegal young females forced into prostitution. Caught in the web of deception, Randy's defense attorney seeks Mancuso's help to uncover the truth. As the stakes rise, the investigators navigate a dangerous landscape where the pursuit of justice leads to a string of mysterious murders designed to conceal the illicit activities of the syndicate.
Racing against time, Mancuso must untangle the threads connecting the murders, the accused athlete, and the criminal organization that thrives in the shadows of the seemingly idyllic campus. With each revelation, Mancuso and his team expose the twisted motives behind the crimes, shedding light on a world where the pursuit of athletic excellence becomes a breeding ground for exploitation.
As the trial unfolds, the protagonists must confront not only the legal challenges but also the moral dilemma of confronting a crime syndicate powerful enough to manipulate the very fabric of the university.
"In the Shadows of the Game" explores the darkest corners of ambition, crime, and power, where the playing field is no longer limited to the sports arena. Will justice prevail, or will the shadows continue to cast their ominous presence over the lives of the innocent?
If you love novels by John Grisham, James Patterson, and Harlan Coben, In the Shadows of the Game by Owen Parr, will be a new wonderful discovery.

Most of the successful private prospectors who’d struck it rich during the California and Nevada gold rushes during the mid- to late-1800s, had journeyed westward with a specific plan from which they never deviated. Upon achieving their pre-defined goals, they packed up and returned to their original homes in distant regions of the United States. There were also plenty of others, who’d been unable to pull the plug after striking it rich, believing their lucky streak to be a never-ending one.

It was supposed to be a holiday to fix the cracks in our fractured family. I knew the seven days would be endless, but I never imagined that one of us would only survive for six of them… As I carry my case into the charming and rustic cottage and smile at my sister-in-law, Kelli, I allow myself a moment of hope. Perhaps this holiday will force our family to address our long-held grudges and leave with the promise of a happier future.

Story
Life had been going swimmingly for literary phenomenon Alan Michaels: earth-spanning fame, a bank-stretching fortune, and a creative mind that seemed never to have churned out a bad idea. But then, just as he was at the absolute peak of his powers, Alan was met with a horrific road accident. He was lent many a scar and scab, but that was not the worst of it; ever since—what with all the blackouts, headaches, and missing memories—his words fell on the page strangely and sickly, not at all as they used to: the genius in him was gone.

Story
Kidnappers grabbed Jenna in broad daylight, right in front of her children and their horrified classmates. Her family was issued an insane ransom demand: $25 million in cash and jewels, payable by the end of the school day, otherwise they’ll never see her again. As Jenna’s mother scrambles to gather the money, detectives Mo Butler and George Ortega follow the trail of the kidnappers, which will lead them through a sordid landscape of jealous lovers, broken dreamers, and twisted schemers. But every second counts, and there’s one thing Jenna Wade doesn’t have: very much time.

Story
When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.

Story
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Absolutely edge of your seat from beginning to end. I felt like I was spellbound listening to this story and I couldn't stop. This was a brilliant work of art
via characters and storyline. Action and drama fueled the story and the dramatic music all added greatly to my wonderful experience. I didn't see it all coming, and that's the way I like it. The big twists and the explanations of how each case came out were compelling. I was blindsided at the end, and just like Mancuso I wanted my pound of flesh too. Impactful. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest opinion. The narrator did a phenomenal job bringing the characters and story to life. Randy is a perfect fit for this crime series and never fails to bring his A game. Kudos. I highly recommend this series. My only complaint was hearing Michelle Marie too frequently. It pulled me out of the moment.

I loved it great mystery. Characters were incredible made me want to listen all the time...my only thing was I cringed a bit when a magazine for a pistol was called a clip....very common misunderstanding an most people would not even notice...but you would be laughed off the range for such a mistake..clips go in automatic weapons..that being said I truly loved your audio book and thank you for all the time an effort you put into my entertainment much appreciated I assure you.

I absolutely loved this murder mystery book. I try to figure out who the murderer is ahead of time, but I was stumped with this book. The author had me guessing till the very end. The book was entertaining and action-packed. The narrator, Randy McCarten, was phenomenal in his delivery of bringing these characters to life. I can't wait to listen to the next book by this author and narrator.

The thrill and suspense!
Wow! What a twist, and at the end. Will there be a sequel? Loved the story and narration. This should be made into a movie.

Randy’s Deception
I throughly enjoyed the deception and under lying plots. Was caught completely off guard. I am always kept guessing as to who did it. Love the finish looking forward to the next book. What a cliffhanger. Wonder how Marcie will take it

Unraveling Dark Secrets
In the Shadows of the Game by Owen Parr is the twelfth exhilarating ride in the Joey Mancuso, Father O’Brian Crime Mystery series, and boy, does it deliver! This time, Joey Mancuso and his team are drawn into a sinister web of crime that hits close to home, exposing a vile syndicate exploiting young female athletes. The stakes are higher than ever, and the tension is palpable from start to finish.
Randy McCarten, who has consistently brought Mancuso to life, shines yet again in this audiobook. His narration is nothing short of captivating, embodying the gritty determination and complex emotions of the characters. McCarten’s ability to weave through the intricate plot, filled with twists and turns, makes this a gripping listen. As the investigation unfolds, the sense of urgency and danger is ever-present, pulling me deeper into the narrative.
What I love most about this installment is its unique blend of familiar elements and fresh twists. While it deviates slightly from previous books, with a more personal touch to the crime, it still retains that classic “whodunit” intrigue and the puzzle of connecting seemingly disparate events. The ending, as always with Parr’s books, delivers a satisfying and dramatic resolution, tying together the complex threads of the plot in a masterful way. I finished this book in just a few days, eager to see how justice would prevail.
In the Shadows of the Game is a thrilling addition to the series, offering both fans and new readers a compelling story that explores the dark corners of ambition and crime. It’s a heart-pounding journey that keeps you guessing until the very end, and I can’t wait to see where Joey Mancuso’s next adventure will lead.
And that ending?? I did not see it coming!
