About this series
From the back alleys of Philadelphia to the remote trails of Arizona's Red Rock Country--from a childhood marred by tragedy to the brink of an uncertain adulthood--Lizzy Ballard must come to terms with her extraordinary ability and the chaos it wreaks in her life and the lives of those she loves. Will Lizzy and her allies be able to save her from becoming the tool of others' ambitions, or a human lab rat.
This ebook box set includes the three Lizzy Ballard Thrillers: ROCK PAPER SCISSORS, SNAKES AND LADDERS, and THE IRON RING.
Rock Paper Scissors
She was born with an extraordinary ability … and while she tries to hide it, others seek to control it. Who will win this deadly zero-sum game?
Rock breaks scissors. Scissors cut paper. Paper covers rock. The rules are simple—except when it's people's lives at stake.
When Lizzy's parents discover the damage she can do with her mind, they hide her away, trying to save her from life as a human lab rat … and trying to save others from her power. But they can't hide her forever.
Little do they know that professed friends are actually enemies who will eliminate anyone who gets in the way of their goal of turning Lizzy's power to their own ends.
As her protectors are picked off one by one, will Lizzy be able to escape from this deadly zero-sum game?
Snakes & Ladders
She thought she was safe … but even a continent away is not far enough to hide her from her enemies. Will she be able to evade a killer's search?
Lizzy is on the run after her fatal game of rock-paper-scissors with those behind the Vivantem fertility clinic's nefarious experiments. She finds herself in the Red Rock Country of Arizona … and finds a mentor in a man with his own dark past.
While Lizzy works to control her deadly ability, the Vivantem forces are hot on her trail, and Lizzy's power will be no defense against the weapon they have chosen.
Then Vivantem strikes at the one person whose life means more to Lizzy than her own, and in a bid to protect her dwindling band of allies, she takes the fight to the enemy's camp.
In this deadly game of snakes and ladders, will Lizzy be rewarded for her virtues or punished for her vices?
The Iron Ring
She has a promise to fulfill … but she never anticipated the evil that awaited her at the end of her journey. Will keeping her word cost her everything?
Lizzy Ballard is headed to the Red Rock Country of Arizona on a mission of vengeance … and although she doesn't know it yet, the Vivantem forces are no longer her biggest problem.
She and her allies have attracted the attention of a reclusive billionaire, a man who is determined to enlist them to his own cause … willingly or unwillingly. Even Lizzy's enemies at Vivantem seem to be no match for his power.
With the lines of communication cut, Lizzy struggles to understand exactly who the enemy is. And when Lizzy faces the killer, even her special ability can't protect her.
Will Lizzy grab the iron ring, or be left on the field of battle?

"Dalrymple gives a master class in how to raise the stakes for her complex, well-drawn characters as they fight to disentangle themselves from impossible situations." —Lisa Regan, USA Today and Wall Street Journal Bestselling Crime Fiction Author "The venomous psychopath and the unctuous megalomaniac in 'The Iron Ring' are formidably harrowing new foes.

Lizzy Ballard possesses a dangerous power she struggles to control: the ability to inflict fatal brain injuries using only the power of her mind. Haunted by the memory of her victims, she's on the run from the authorities and from the scientist who created her power, Louise Mortensen. Lizzy has been hiding out in Arizona with her mentor, ex-con Philip Castillo. She's earning money at the poker tables of Phoenix, thanks to an unexpected ability bestowed by a drug stolen from Mortensen: temporary clairvoyance. When Lizzy and Philip decide to head east to Lizzy's hometown of Philadelphia, she's overjoyed to be reunited with her godfather, Owen McNally, and his brother Andy. But the East Coast proves to be no refuge when Lizzy is the subject of a brutal attack. Then Mortensen kidnaps Andy and coerces Philip into a lethal game of nerves with her rival, Billy Chapel. Lizzy sees no way out except to comply with the demands of her nemesis. When Lizzy finds blood stains in Chapel's suite and a dire note from Philip warning her of who the true enemy is, she fears the worse. She demands answers from Chapel, but he's just as baffled as she is. His confusion quickly turns to rage, and he drags her toward Louise's lab—and the final showdown. Outnumbered but undaunted, Lizzy must rely on her wits and grit to try to outmaneuver Mortensen and Chapel, and to answer the question: can friendship and justice prevail against cruelty and evil? The only way to win might be to put not just her freedom but her very soul at stake.
