Stop, Go, Murder

StopGoMurder is a story about murder, the game of

Go, and the role of happenstance in shaping our lives.

Introduced here is Steven Crane, a homicide detective

who has come to see his life, including his current case,

as a deceiving game of Go -- the ancient board game of

strategy, and his obsession.

The killer Crane is after is in plain view, and he knows

it in his gut. Still he struggles, as we all do, to see

things as they are.

StopGoMurder is the first novel for Paul Freeman,

who before turning to fiction has worn many hats:

as a consultant to a Nobel laureate; as an international

elections observer; as a corporate, non-profit and

political strategist; and as mayor of Laguna Beach,

California.
