It is August 1936, and a luxury express train is hurtling toward the German border. In first class, a Soviet chess grandmaster sits dead in his compartment, poisoned mid-game behind a locked door.
Enter Elias Vance: a British intelligence operative currently masquerading as a mild-mannered Swiss clockmaker. Armed with an eidetic memory and a distinct lack of patience for bad coffee, Vance has exactly three and a half hours to untangle a locked-room murder and secure a stolen cipher containing fourteen targeted names. If he fails, the train crosses into Munich, and fourteen people disappear forever.
He must outmaneuver a killer who is always three moves ahead, navigating a treacherous passenger manifest where everyone has an alibi and no one is who they claim to be. It turns out, surviving a luxury train ride through the Austrian Alps requires more than just a first-class ticket.
But the board is yours to play. The Munich Gambit is a classic espionage thriller with a strategic twist. At critical junctions in the investigation, the story branches. You choose which path Vance takes. Both paths are deadly. Both paths are true.
