James Farwell’s The Murder Game is a screwball comedy set in the cut-throat world of the New Orleans legal system.

A killer is on the loose but where is he? Can the two people whose job it is to uphold justice catch him before killing each other? Will their trustes friend Melvin pay his gambling debts on time? Will the Brazilian footballer turned crime writer help? Or could it all be solved by an evening round the dinner table?
