The Gameshouse is an unusual institution.

Many know it as the place where fortunes can be made and lost through games of chess, backgammon -- every game under the sun.

But a select few, who are picked to compete in the higher league, know that some games are played for higher stakes -- those of politics and empires, of economics and kings . . .

In 1930s Bangkok, one higher league player has just been challenged to a game of hide and seek. The board is all of Thailand -- and the seeker may use any means possible to hunt down his quarry -- be it police, government, strangers or even spies . . .

Critic reviews

"An astonishing re-invention of the time travel narrative. Bold, magical and masterful."—Mike Carey, on The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August

Interesting new characters while the overall mystery of "what is the gameshouse" continues. A worthwhile listen.
