Paul Auster - Tricky game (2020)

"No one wins in this game, there are only losers. The only difference is that some people lose more than others."
Someone wants to kill George Chapman, a former baseball star flirting with a political career. The man entrusts the hard-nosed private detective Max Klein with finding the possible killer. Although the incredibly popular Chapman claims to have no enemies, Klein has long been a believer in fairy tales. He begins to investigate and soon discovers that among the former athlete's friends and acquaintances there is an army of potential killers, and although there are ruthless businessmen and cruel mobsters among them, the most dangerous is perhaps the man's beautiful wife.

The world-famous novelist Paul Auster's first book, written under the pseudonym, is a real literary treat, which holds surprises for fans of both classic crime fiction and sophisticated fiction.
