The Chess Club #2
Knight
Chase Payne is on the right track to letting go of his past. He left his job to go back home; not just to bury a friend, Wes Davenport, but to hold a promise he fully intended to keep.
Corruption, scandal, terror, and loss have plagued Lakeridge for too long, and the region's top FBIS agent has asked the Chess Club to work together to fix the mess. For Chase, that means putting his past demons to rest and focusing on the future.
Considering he’d never felt he deserved any kind of future, this homecoming challenges him in ways he never saw coming. Not to mention the competition with Lieutenant Cassidy Redbird for sheriff. On more than one front, Chase really has his work cut out for him.
But how much of his past can he let go of, and what happens if he can't?

The fight for decent treatment and legality continues. Wes can only observe what happens, wishing he could pass on information. Chase's arrival and the selection process for Chief triggers further interference from the rearguard left behind. Technology becomes critical in the battle between law and order and the opposing drug dealing multi corporations led by Owens. A second last minute candidate for Mayor appears, and doubts about his background history turns up a history of violence, with an inference that he is a psychopath. Bodies multiply, drones on both sides, and soon the Chess club crew are in the centre of a storm.

Chase Payne is the Knight - and he is now a senior member of the Lakeside Police Department after the fall of the previous corrupt office-holders. He and his deputy have a mutual attraction - which may prove a problem at work - but he seems to be adapting well to his new environment, surrounded by the Chess Club members who have also returned to Lakeside after the murder of Wes Davenport.
An intriguing continuation.

New author for me
I love a good mystery! This author knows how to keep a reader interested. Both main characters had difficulties in their lives, but found a way to accept each other without it sounding smarmy.
Definitely looking forward to the next book
