Both teeter on the knife’s edge between hope and despair. The city wallows in economic crisis brought on by the post-industrial era and exacerbated by greedy local politicians. But its heart of gold, the city’s resilient people who dream of better times and a different life for their children, fight the good fight, generation after generation, despite all odds. Nagler is the Fisher King, the death of his young wife twenty years earlier creating the dolorous wound that continues to bleed and will not heal.</span><br style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:'&quot';font-size:13px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;word-spacing:0px;" /><br style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:'&quot';font-size:13px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;word-spacing:0px;" /><span style="float:none;background-color:transparent;color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;word-spacing:0px;">The story opens with the savage beating of two women in a college dormitory and rapidly escalates to murder. One victim hints that a psychopath obsessed with a multiplayer online game may have brought its brutality into the physical world. A beautiful, but troubled college administrator steps forward to guide Nagler through the academic bureaucracy, but is she friend or foe? Meanwhile, Nagler’s friend, a local business owner who is both blind and confined to a wheelchair, is terrorized by someone who is sadistically toying with him, destroying his store and his livelihood. Are the deaths and violence as random as they appear, or is there something deeper and more malevolent festering in Ironton?</span><br style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:'&quot';font-size:13px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;word-spacing:0px;" /><br style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:'&quot';font-size:13px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;word-spacing:0px;" /><span style="float:none;background-color:transparent;color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;word-spacing:0px;">“A Game Called Dead” is a literary mystery that will keep you turning the pages.
