The Game
A High-Stakes Conspiracy of Power, Poker, and Profit
Winner — Popular Fiction, 2026 IndieReader Discovery Awards
A financial prodigy rides a malfunctioning elevator to a forty-first floor that shouldn’t exist — and finds a private poker game where the powerful settle disputes beyond the reach of courts, regulators, and headlines. The stakes: an artificial intelligence that could reshape who holds power.
Keller weaves a complicated plot seamlessly into a stunning reveal in the final chapters in a story that will keep you reading deep into the night.
