Selected by the San Francisco Chronicle, the Detroit Free Press and January Magazine as one of the top ten mysteries of the year… Chosen by Mysterious Bookshop owner Otto Penzler as a “Penzler’s Pick” for Amazon.com… Nominated for a Shamus, a Barry and an Independent Publishers Award (IPPY)… Joining the ranks of California detectives Sam Spade, Philip Marlowe, Lew Archer and Elvis Cole… Meet August Riordan in The Immortal Game! When the world’s most innovative computer chess software is stolen, wisecracking, jazz bass-playing PI August Riordan is hired to find it. Sifting through a San Francisco peopled with bruising, ex-NFL henchmen, transvestite techno geeks, and alluring, drug-addicted dominatrices, Riordan has got his work cut out for him. But with a smart-ass attitude like Riordan’s, nothing is easy. A darkly comic sojourn through a town unrecognizable from the Tony Bennett song and the Rice-a-Roni ads, The Immortal Game is the first full-length adventure in the August Riordan series.
