CHESS KILLER: One wrong move could be your last

She survived one country by learning to disappear inside it. She survived the next one by learning to fight. Now the only move left is to stop running, and start playing to win.Han Seoyeon was never the strongest chess player in the room. She didn't need to be. Her gift was reading people; the hesitation before a lie, the hand that drifts toward a pocket, the silence that means more than the sentence around it. Her teacher spent seven years turning that gift into a survival instinct. Then he vanished, and Seoyeon used everything he taught her to kill a man and disappear across a border.A decade later, she's rebuilt herself twice, first in South Korea, then in an underground boxing circuit in America, and she's finally safe. Or so she thinks, until she walks into a quiet neighborhood chess club and finds, waiting on a stranger's board, a position only one person alive should know how to build.Someone has been watching her the whole time. And the game they're playing isn't chess.CHESS KILLER is Book Three in The Sports Killer Series, a run of literary thrillers where the language of sport becomes the language of survival. Soccer taught you how far institutions will go to protect themselves.

Perfect for readers of psychological thrillers, espionage fiction, North Korean defector stories, and slow burn character driven suspense.Some games end when the king falls.
