A PopSugar Best Book of the Year! Readers of Heather Morris’s The Tattooist of Auschwitz and watchers of The Queen’s Gambit won’t want to miss this amazing debut set during World War II. A young Polish resistance worker, imprisoned in Auschwitz as a political prisoner, plays chess in exchange for her life, and in doing so fights to bring the man who destroyed her family to justice. Maria Florkowska is many things: daughter, avid chess player, and, as a member of the Polish underground resistance in Nazi-occupied Warsaw, a young woman brave beyond her years. Captured by the Gestapo, she is imprisoned in Auschwitz, but while her family is sent to their deaths, she is spared. Realizing her ability to play chess, the sadistic camp deputy, Karl Fritzsch, decides to use her as a chess opponent to entertain the camp guards. However, once he tires of exploiting her skills, he has every intention of killing her. Befriended by a Catholic priest, Maria attempts to overcome her grief, vows to avenge the murder of her family, and plays for her life. For four grueling years, her strategy is simple: Live. Fight. Survive. By cleverly provoking Fritzsch’s volatile nature in front of his superiors, Maria intends to orchestrate his downfall. Only then will she have a chance to evade the fate awaiting her and see him punished for his wickedness. As she carries out her plan and the war nears its end, she challenges her former nemesis to one final game, certain to end in life or death, in failure or justice. If Maria can bear to face Fritzsch—and her past—one last time.

Why has the twenty-eight year old graphic artist Scarlett Reid been sent an anonymous email with one line written in the subject line: “I need your help” and attached, a story written by an eighteen year old named Kendra? The story that Kendra tells, is about her travels to see several Grateful Dead concerts in Colorado in the summer of 1987. Kendra’s story, Scarlett soon reads, takes her from Red Rocks Ampetheatre to a campground just west of Boulder in which she comes across a body of a woman in the woods. After a reluctant and fearful road trip, Kendra’s story ends in Telluride. At first, Scarlett believes this seemingly random story is meant for someone else, but she soon finds out that the story is indeed meant for her to read. She has no idea who sent the story to her, nor does she know why. But, after reading an article about the remains of a body discovered in the mountains just outside of Telluride, Scarlett realizes that not only is Kendra’s story true, but the remains and Kendra’s story must somehow be connected. Suddenly, Scarlett finds herself at the helm of a 30 year old mystery that only she is meant to unravel. What follows is a wild journey that sends Scarlett and her cubicle neighbor and new-found cohort Sophie Campbell on the track of a killer. The two set out to discover who was responsible for the murder and as the suspect list and the body count grows, so does the possibility that they might be in great danger from someone who does not want the truth to come to light. As Scarlett Reid peels away the layers of the story and learns more about its characters, she soon discovers that the story is a link to a past she never knew. A 30 year-old mystery buried deep in the Colorado mountains. Little does 28 year-old Scarlett Reid know how connected to the mystery she really is.
