Once he was a happily married English professor in Seattle. Now he's a divorced caregiver, looking after his ill father and a Chihuahua named Beans while still figuring out the rules of retail management. At least the town has become more LGBTQ+ friendly than when Ben was a teenager--and that flower shop owner, Ezra McCaslin, enjoys flirting with him. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut despite his usual clientele of gamers, Ben is barely earning enough to keep the store running and stay on top of his father's medical bills. Then a local toy and game collector named Clive offers him a winning strategy--to purchase a turn-of-the-twentieth-century edition of \u003ci\u003eThe Landlord's Game\u003c\/i\u003e, the realty and taxation game that inspired \u003ci\u003eMonopoly\u003c\/i\u003e, at a tenth of the rare edition's true value. Suspicious of Clive's shady, low-priced deal, Ben turns the offer down. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThen Clive turns up dead at the front door of Ben's and a backpack full of $100 bills appears on his doorstep. Now Ben is the #1 suspect in Clive's death, and unless he and Ezra can prove his innocence and find the real killer, he'll go to jail for murder--and no amount of double dice rolls will set him free . . .\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"27th Letter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67390516527149,"sku":"WHS-bdfa32cc2ecd458bb3ba3d8d031418c2","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/3588\/0749\/files\/original_35f26bbe-277b-49da-946a-bf46a3f8d4f6.jpg?v=1787343790","url":"https:\/\/27thletterbooks.com\/products\/board-to-death-1","provider":"27th Letter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
