Book details

Chessmaster and FBI consultant Artemis Blythe is confronted by a case that tests her genius like nothing before...

The troubled grandson of a close friend is found hanging above the gunshot body of his girlfriend. The police claim it's an open and shut murder-suicide.

But Artemis Blythe isn't nearly so certain.

She travels to Chicago, on behalf of her friend, to investigate the scene of the crime. Late night excursions into historic homes, run-ins with questionable detectives, and a pattern of violence buried under a pile of caution tape leads Artemis to her most harrowing conclusion yet.

But even across state lines, her reputation as the Ghost-killer's daughter follows her, and Artemis is faced with a life-altering choice.
