The Many Children of Billy Fowler

Billy Fowler was a prodigy, a world chess champion who vanished without explanation.

His five children — scattered across Wyoming, Quebec, Berlin, Austin, and Paris — have built lives as strange and brilliant as their father's legend. A scientist, a giant, an editor, a pirate, an assassin: each carries his shadow.

When they finally reunite, the question can no longer be avoided: what really happened to Billy Fowler?

A darkly funny, mysterious family saga, The Many Children of Billy Fowler is a novel of genius, absence, and the chaos of inheritance.
