Too bad Ben can\u0026amp;rsquo;t roll for success when talking to Ezra about moving in together. As his father\u0026amp;rsquo;s caretaker, Ben has a lot of responsibilities that demand his attention, leaving him unable to take his relationship with Ezra to the next level.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCoinciding with the Pride festival is a game convention in nearby Park City\u0026amp;mdash;and a regional speedsolving contest between Rubik\u0026amp;rsquo;s Cube enthusiasts. Ben and Ezra\u0026amp;rsquo;s friend, non-binary brewery owner Kit, is one of Utah\u0026amp;rsquo;s top five speedcubers. To qualify for the national competition, they\u0026amp;rsquo;ll have to be one of the top three. Kit\u0026amp;rsquo;s opponents are all legends: the retiree who became an overnight speedcube success on TikTok; a college student who inherited his father\u0026amp;rsquo;s quick puzzle solving reflexes; and the twenty-year veteran champion Theodore Behunin\u0026amp;mdash;a known recluse who is Kit\u0026amp;rsquo;s hotel roommate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut the speedsolving tournament is canceled when Theodore\u0026amp;rsquo;s body is found, burned to death, in his otherwise untouched hotel room. As the last person to have seen him alive, Kit is the police\u0026amp;rsquo;s number one suspect. To prove their friend\u0026amp;rsquo;s innocence, Ben and Ezra start an investigation, finding it easier to solve a Rubik\u0026amp;rsquo;s Cube than to identify a killer among so many people with so many motives . . .\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kensington","offers":[{"title":"US - Paperback","offer_id":49728216006883,"sku":"DTRPRUS-9781496742247","price":118.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/9781496742247.jpg?v=1789306446","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/zh\/products\/killer-cube","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
