  From the acclaimed author of Ubik—in the future, Earth’s leader is randomly chosen by a computer, but some 
  are unwilling to leave everything to chance. 
  In 2203 anyone can become the ruler of the solar system. There are no elections, no interviews, no prerequisites 
  whatsoever—it all comes down to the random turns of a giant wheel. But when a new Quizmaster takes over, 
  the old one still keeps some rights, namely the right to hire an unending stream of assassins to attempt to kill 
  the new leader. 
  In the wake of the most recent change in leadership, employees of the former ruler scurry to find an assassin 
  who can get past telepathic guards. But when one employee switches sides, troubling facts about the lottery 
  system come to light, and it just might not be possible for anyone to win. 
  “Built up with the detail of a Heinlein and the satire of a Kornbluth.”—Anthony Boucher, author of The Case of 
  the Crumpled Knave

  Readers love the Old Forge Café mysteries!
  'Another excellent addition to this superb series' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Real reader review
  Charlie Hunter does not like Christmas, especially the lead into it -- cooking endless servings of Christmas dinner. So when she is asked by Graeme Strickland, Michelin-starred chef, egomaniac and friend, to help out in a hotel restaurant in Edinburgh's New Town, for a fortnight, she accepts with alacrity. The Head Chef, David Jenkins, is a very old friend of Strickland's, and the job entails covering temporarily for a sous chef position, while Strickland provides cover for Charlie, gratis, in the Old Forge Café.
  She is scheduled to be there for a fortnight. But Charlie arrives in Edinburgh just in time to discover David Jenkins being stretchered out. An autopsy reveals the Chef has been poisoned with mushrooms. Was it an accident or a murder attempt? It looks like Charlie may be doing a rather different job…

  At Eden University, where prestige and power reign, Eve Mason does her best to go unnoticed by the elites. A scholarship student with a haunting past, she keeps to herself, always in the background. Unfortunately, Eve's quiet world shatters the moment she inadvertently crosses paths with a dark stranger. This brooding, enigmatic figure has secrets and demons of his own and Eve knows she should stay as far removed from his dark depths as she can. 
  This stranger rules in the world of privilege, but he's drawn to Eve in ways that even he can't explain. Beneath his cold exterior lies a man with a history far darker than anyone could imagine, and he recognizes the same inky darkness in Eve. 
  As their mysterious attraction grows, so does the tension. Dark pasts, long held bonds, and evil intent collide when everyone seems to have something to hide. Eve's tenuous relationship spirals into something both thrilling and toxic as they find themselves caught in a game far more dangerous than either anticipated. 
  But in a place where everyone has a dark side and no one can be trusted, can Eve and the stranger figure out who the real villains are? Or will their own pasts destroy them before they can unravel the truth?
