New independent crime novel by the New York Times Bestselling   and Spiegel Bestselling Author Max Seeck, winner of the Glass Key Award 2023!    

MILO is a psychological suspense novel with surprising twists and interesting   facts about the game of chess. It’s 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.     

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. 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: dxe5. 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…
