In many ways, End Game brings to an end three things: the sagas of Captain Roberto Muñoz of the Lientur;
the hunt for the millions of dollars in U.S. and British cash,
negotiable securities, gold coins, and jewelry stolen from the Banco
Central de Chile following the Chilean Earthquake of May, 1960; and the
murders that follow the robbery.
Winner!! Jack Eadon Award for the Best Book in Contemporary Drama
Book I: Frozen in Time: Murder at the Bottom of the World,
introduced American scientists Ted Stone and Grant Morris, who, while
performing geological and geophysical field work with the assistance of
Captain Roberto Muñoz of the Chilean auxiliary tug Lientur, were caught up in the hunt for the robbers (and the spoils from the robbery) and murder.
Book II: Unfinished Business: Pursuit of an Antarctic Killer,
introduced Captain Mateo Valderas and Lieutenant-Commander Antonio Del
Río of the Chilean Navy's Office of Internal Affairs. Initially assigned
to solve a murder in Arica, they soon found themselves facing perhaps
the most vicious, cunning thief and murderer they have ever encountered.
The return of American scientists Ted Stone and Grant Morris to Santiago
for the purpose of helping personnel of the University of Chile prepare
for the 20th Chilean Expedition to the Antarctic, beginning in December
1965, jeopardizes the lives of both scientists. What 'irrational acts'
will elicit the 'tragic consequences' that finally bring everything to
an end? This answer and more are in Book III: End Game: Irrational Acts, Tragic Consequences.
Praise for End Game
"[I]t is the juxtaposition of factual and imaginary
detail, real and fictitious characters, each underscored by footnotes
or website research, that gives Theodore Cohen’s work a 'signature
style' [that is] quite unique, enjoyable and thoroughly ingenious."~ Gary Sorkin for Pacific Book Review "Cutting-edge drama and suspense, revealing
characters through convincing dialog, provides 'The Antarctic Murders
Trilogy' with all the elements of a cutting-edge, award-winning,
best-selling novel."~ Richard Blake for Readers Views "If you want an enigmatic, exciting, yet somehow relaxing mystery, End Game
will take you from the depths of an Antarctic crevasse to the top of
the steeple of the Church of Saint Francis—La Iglesia de San
Francisco—in search of the evil secrets of Captain Roberto Muñoz ... a
man who cut his teeth at the feet of the insidious Larenas cartel!"~ Deb Fowler, Feathered Quill Book Reviews "I had waited anxiously for this novel to come out
and it didn’t disappoint ... The plot moves swiftly without lagging and
is definitely a page-turner ... I highly recommend this novel to anyone
who enjoys a thriller that breaks the mold and I give it 5 stars."~ Jud Hanson, ReviewTheBook.com
