The Trouble With Tournaments
(2026)(The third book in the Mahjong Maven Mystery series)
A novel by Lyssa Lund
The west side finally has a rival worth beating.
When a cluster of mahjong leagues from across the river challenge the Western Mahjong League to a Year of the Horse tournament — bragging rights, real press, one trophy — Phoebe Lindstrom and her friends say yes before they've thought it through.
Then the promoter turns up dead, and a controversial ruling made hours before his death suddenly looks like exactly the kind of thing worth killing over.
Everyone has a theory. Half the west side is furious. Half the east side won't stop smiling about it. And the one person Phoebe's sure didn't do it is starting to look like the only one who could have.
Some rivalries are just for show. This one has real stakes.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
