Description

WINNER OF THE CHRYSALIS BREW PROJECT 2023 NEW BOOK AWARD

Benny Basilworth makes connections. A rare intellect, he sees things that others don't see and draws conclusions that others completely fail to grasp. He has the kind of mind that can make a person a national sensation on the television gameshow "The Connection Game"– and the kind of mind that can be the target of predators.

Despite his brilliance, Benny and his family find themselves destitute, living in a basement apartment with one tiny window that affords them only the view of the feet of passersby on the street above. It is from this vantagepoint that Benny once again starts making connections. Mad, inconceivable connections. Connections that can change lives . . . and turn the entire world upside down.

Humorous, surprising, wise, and remarkably perceptive, The Connection Game is a novel unlike any other and one that you are unlikely to forget.

Reviews

...a thought-provoking and engaging novel that will keep readers hooked from beginning to end. With its unique premise, well-crafted characters, and blend of humor and intensity, this book is a must-read for anyone looking for a fresh and compelling story.

The pieces come together with a relief like the final click in solving a Rubik’s Cube. You will probably experience several of those 'How did I not put that together?' moments that define a well-written, engaging, psychological thriller.

Gina Rae Mitchell

If you enjoy psychological thrillers with slightly different views of human nature--this is a must-read.

It is a perfect example why readers should go outside their comfort zone and read something they would not normally read.
