| About the Book
Bryan Matthews settles into life at Whitman College and seemingly
has it all. Considered the most promising American chess player
since Bobby Fischer, he pledges the top fraternity on campus and
falls in love with a raven-haired “townie” named Lydia Redstone. On
a hot summer night, the teenage lovers drive out past the moonlit
wheat fields and park in the abandoned and desecrated Stubblefield
Cemetery. There, a confrontation with a predatory police officer
turns ugly and in a few precious seconds their lives are changed
forever. Certain their story will not be believed, Bryan sets into
motion a brilliant and dangerous plan that surpasses the most daring
moves he’s ever attempted in a chess match. Only this time he’s up
against the most formidable opponent he has ever faced. And the
stakes are
higher . . . much higher!
