While millions gather to celebrate the Super Bowl, Special Agent James Beamer is haunted by a different annual ceremony - a meticulously staged sacrifice that transforms the opening day of football season into a nightmare. The entity known only as "The Super Bowl Killer" leaves behind no traces, save for a grotesque portrayal that mock America's most beloved sport.

The shadows grow longer as opening day approaches, and Beamer knows he's running out of time. Each victim is claimed in the city of the previous Super Bowl champion, and this year, Charlotte's streets will run red. Desperate to prevent another killing, Beamer seeks the help of Lieutenant Tate Marsh, the Queen City's most hardened homicide detective, whose encounters with human depravity have left deep scars. Joining their hunt is renowned true crime author Ben Graham, whose research into serial killers has brought him dangerously close to the abyss of human evil.

But even their combined experience with darkness may not be enough. For the killer they seek is no ordinary murderer, but a product of ritual and malice who has turned America's game into a ceremonial sacrifice. If Beamer and Marsh cannot stop this dark design, another innocent woman will lose her life.

ROLLER COASTER is the first story in a spin-off series of the James Beamer Thrillers.
