Sydney Elbridge is the author of a popular series of historical fantasy novels—her latest about property titles secreted inside one of boundary stones of Washington, DC—and the plagiarists she’s suing keep turning up dead.
A computer forensics expert known as “Malibu” was working with her lawyers when she went from plaintiff to defendant. His friend Mike Ringstead is a board game designer, the perfect guy to figure out the motives of the real-world players in this game of history, intrigue, and murder.
Stories within stories within stories, history under fiction under history, and greed behind violence behind curiosity.
Can Mike uncover the meaning behind the secret documents that Elbridge’s fictional detective failed to find?
I’m just messing around with this story but, if you like it, let me know.
