Synopsis

Death's Head Chess Club

About this title

Review:

This story is superb. "New York Journal of Books"

Engrossing This is a story much like chess, with an opening move, a middle game, and an endgame, as it explores the themes of survival, guilt, friendship, and healing. "The Jewish Book Council"
""
An ambitious debut novel that raises uneasy questions. "Financial Times"

Perceptive, and written with feeling and integrity "The Death's Head Chess Club" has much to recommend it. "The Herald "(Scotland)

This many-layered and labyrinthine tale, laced with irony and empathy, moves briskly from shock to shock. It is a masterfully crafted novel, each chapter named for a chess move. You don't need to know chess to be appalled, stunned, astonished by and delighted to be in the hands of such an accomplished writer. Sam Coale, "The Providence Journal"

Filled with soul and emotion Alexis Helms, "The Roanoke Times""
