The Grandmaster's King (a Ray Gordon Mystery) (volume 2) [Paperback]

The favorite to win the US Chess Championship is found dead. Was it suicide, or murder? Unfortunately the cop who lands the case is Ray Gordon's former partner - and the two haven't spoken in years for good reason. Since the victim was a friend and he doesn't trust the police investigation, Ray decides to take matters into his own hands. When others begin to disappear though, Ray finds himself deep within a savage game that becomes personal in more ways than one. They say when it rains it pours. For Ray, that cliche couldn't be more true.
