Description
A foggy night in London sets the scene for a murder that will test Inspector Macdonald's skills. A party at an artist's studio during the wartime blackout becomes a crime scene when the miser next door is found brutally murdered. As Macdonald untangles alibis and navigates the complex web of relationships among the studio guests, he must also consider the possibility that the killer may be someone close to home. The investigation takes Macdonald from the artist's studio to other locations in Hampstead, where a civil servant and a government scientist engage in a game of chess while an artist paints their portrait. As the detective works to uncover the truth behind the murder, he must separate fact from fiction and identify potential suspects among the party guests. With its intricate plot and complex characters, Checkmate to Murder is a gripping mystery that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.
