The Chess Board Murders

A 1920's Historical Murder Mystery

All chess games end in a murder...

It's 1920, the murders of a trade unionist, a knight and a bishop shock Britain. The finger of blame seems to point to Russia.

As the body count rises, Kit Aston plays a deadly game of chess with a Russian grandmaster where checkmate is a matter of life or death.

The latest Kit Aston whodunnit is a gripping historical crime thriller, full of twists and hilarious one liners which fuses classic murder mystery with a spy novel.

The Kit Aston mysteries mix real life historical characters and events with crime thrillers full of red herrings. No books are the same except, of course, for the twists, the thrills and the laughs...

Clean read: no graphic violence, sex, or strong language.
