Description
Ray Gordon's life is one of quiet routine. As a chess teacher, he makes house calls and meets people in public, but his work is unassuming. That is, until Walter Kelly, one of his students, is found dead in his shop. The police and family attribute the death to an accident, but Ray isn't convinced. A former cop with a lingering curiosity, Ray begins to investigate, uncovering a complex web of methamphetamine and its devastating impact on the community. As he delves deeper into the mystery, Ray's thoughts turn to Walter Kelly - a 65-year-old man with no known history of addiction. How did he become involved with illegal drugs? And why was his death met with such relief from those around him? The more Ray learns, the more questions he has about the seemingly ordinary world of chess and the extraordinary events that can unfold. In "Even Dead Men Play Chess", Michael Weitz weaves a gripping tale of mystery and intrigue, exploring the darker corners of human nature.
