Game Players — Anita Waller

From the bestselling author of the Kat and Mouse Murder Mysteries, a twisting crime thriller with “lots of gasp-out-loud moments” (On the Shelf Reviews).
 
When a group of six children playing in their den in the woods spot a man burying drugs nearby, it marks the beginning of the end of their childhoods.
 
Unsure what to do, the children dig up the drugs and take them away. But when the dealer, who they watched bury the supply, shows up dead, the youngsters are thrown into turmoil. Scared of what might happen, the children tell the police about the body they have discovered.
 
Meanwhile, a group of gangsters start searching for their missing drugs. Soon the children and their families become the target of the vicious criminals who will stop at nothing to retrieve their stash . . .
