“She’s in the top five of my best writers list. I have a list of King, Grisham, Koontz…you know, those guys. They are the authors who you know will deliver.” – The Lit Critic

Can Eleri and Donovan outsmart a killer who leaves no evidence behind or even a discernable cause of death? How will they track down someone who is more intelligent than both of them together? Curie, Nebraska was designed as a research haven for the ultra-intelligent.

In fact, applicants must pass a rigorous IQ test before they can call the strange town home. Nearly every resident—including several child geniuses—is suspect and no one is safe. Going undercover as the new neighbors leaves the agents struggling to find even the most basic clues.

Eleri and Donovan can barely maintain their false identities against their overly-curious and stunningly intelligent new friends, let alone solve a murder. Can they figure it out before the next body turns up? Or has the killer already found them…

The Camelot Gambit is the seventh book in the NightShade Forensic FBI Files series by USA Today bestselling author A.J. Scudiere. This book can be read as a standalone, but readers who love paranormal investigations and FBI thrillers will want to read the entire series! Perfect for fans of AG Riddle, Mary Stone & Danielle Girard.

Ratings and reviews

I love this author and wouldn't miss any book she writes. This is a great series. That said; I could have used more action. Eleri's lack of mojo was troubling, but Donovan's possible brother is exciting. Nerdy jokes galore. Totally recommended!

The NightShade series is a paranormal mystery series which details the adventures and case files of two not quite human FBI agents (Eleri & Donavan) and the meta-humans they encounter. The Camelot Gambit does an excellent job of furthering the story of Eleri & Donavan's cases. While the series as a whole is paranormal, this time the suspects and perpetrators are not paranormal in any real sense of the word, they are certainly capable of making you think otherwise. Its nice to see the main characters having to match wits and not rely heavily on their other abilities to catch the bad guy. My only twinge of a complaint with the story is that I was hoping to see more of Eleri's abilities and perhaps see her progressing in control of them. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes mysteries, especially the scifi/paranormal sub-genre. It will keep you guessing right until the end.

Great
