White Death

ONE GAME
Two weeks before Kwasi King, chess’s answer to Muhammad Ali, is due to defend his world title, his mother is found brutally murdered yards from Yale University. A tarot card has been left next to her dismembered body.

TWO PLAYERS
Soon, more bodies turn up at other Ivy League colleges, all with tarot cards. But while some have been killed in a frenzy, others were dispatched with clinical precision. It looks like FBI Special Agent Franco Patrese’s looking for not just one killer, but two.

CHECK MATE
And while Patrese hunts, he knows that he too is being hunted, for he’s received his own tarot card. The Fool. Could he be the next victim of this macabre intellectual battle?
