Cover for Max Seeck’s new crime series revealed!

We are thrilled to share with you the cover and more information on the New York Times bestselling author Max Seeck’s upcoming novel MILO!

Milo, a 38-year-old art enthusiast, gallery owner and criminal profiler struggles with sexual frustration that are both the cause and consequence for his marital problems with his wife Ronja. A body of a young woman is found painted in all-white representing a piece of chess. The chief inspector receives an anonymous letter with a short message: Bxc6. This indicates a chess move and along the location where the body was found the investigators feel that more chess moves might be on the way.

Milo struggles to form a clear picture of the killer. He soon understands that in order to help the police force to catch the killer he needs to understand the game of chess better. As much as he hates it, he decides to face the ghost of the past: her mother’s former partner Stanislav who happens to be a European champion in chess…

MILO starts a new thriller series, with a complex and relatable main character. The first book includes surprising twists and interesting facts about the game of chess – and, in a typical Max Seeck style, a thrilling crime plot: a serial killer uses Helisnki as a chess board and corpses as the chess pawns.

Milo’s is also a story of complex human relationships, sex and issues people are facing when they approach the middle-age. The novel also covers a lot of art and other cultural references, maintaining the erotic vibe that stems from Milo’s and Ronja’s sexual adventures.
