Summary

  A game of spies, a brutal murder, and the fate of an empire collide in a gripping historical crime thriller from the author of No Ordinary Killing.   The North Sea, October 1904—When Russian warships bombard the Hull trawler fleet, killing innocent fishermen, public outrage pushes Britain and Russia to the brink of war, the sparks from which could inflame the entire continent.   Doctor Ingo Finch, once of the Royal Army Medical Corps, is long done with military adventuring. But when a stranger seeks him out, citing a murderous conspiracy behind the infamous “Dogger Bank Incident,” Finch is drawn back into the dark world of espionage.   With Whitehall, Saint Petersburg and rival Bolsheviks vying to manipulate the political crisis, the future of Britain, and Europe, is at stake . . .  Praise for Jeff Dawson and No Ordinary Killing   “Combines deft storytelling with a flair for historical detail.” —Richard Foreman   “Dawson has produced a strong thriller with something to say . . . An intriguing mix of John Buchan style adventuring and well researched period detail, full of superstition, mistrust, and political intrigue . . . A very strong debut.” —Sarah Ward, author of The Birthday Girl   “Jeff is such a talented writer . . . I highly, highly recommend these.” —Making the Cutwith Davina McCall & Michael Douglas

    Many lives collide in this quest to win a billion dollars for picking all the winners in the annual National Collegiate Athletic Association basketball tournament. Some are looking for riches, others for simple survival and personal redemption.

Mathematician Sinclair Dane sponsors the contest, seeking money for a safety net for her troubled mother. She does not have a billion dollars to pay a winner. Risking her reputation and possible legal charges for fraud, she pins her hopes on the astronomical odds against anyone picking all the winners.

Math professor Lewis Cusac uses the basketball contest to teach remedial math to college students, two of whom are playing in the tournament. He enters the contest and finds himself having selected all the winners with only three games remaining. He also gets a call from the NCAA investigators for suspicion of trying to fix the outcomes of games.

Add to the mix a retired casino operator, a group of twenty-something social media wizards, and professional basketball's next megastar.

As the contest goes global, the story races to an ending that will surprise the reader.
