Vegas Chantly Mysteries

After chess master Wilson Hopkins is found dead, the police dismiss it as an accident, but his brother Bosco is convinced it was murder.

Bosco hires Vegas to uncover the truth. With her sharp-witted mother Eleanor and the ever-loyal Bassett Hound, Buttermilk, by her side, Vegas dives into the world of competitive chess—only to discover it's more dangerous than it seems.

Navigating through dark alleys, abandoned warehouses and a chess tournament filled with eccentric players, the case grows increasingly bizarre. Does Vegas have what it takes to outwit the killer?

The stakes are high and the game is deadly in Checkmate a Killer, the first book in Vegas Chantly Mysteries series by Kyle Owens.
