Bart Minnock, founder of the computer-gaming giant U-Play, enters his private playroom, and eagerly can't wait to lose himself in an imaginary world, to play the role of a sword-wielding warrior king, in his company's latest top-secret project, Fantastical.
The next morning, he is found in the same locked room, in a pool of blood, his head separated from his body. It is the most puzzling case Eve Dallas has ever faced, and it is not a game. . . .
NYPSD Lieutenant Eve Dallas is having as much trouble figuring out how Bart Minnock was murdered as who did the murdering. The victim's girlfriend seems sincerely grief-stricken, and his quirky-but-brilliant partners at U-Play appear equally shocked. No one seemed to have a prob-lem with the enthusiastic, high-spirited millionaire. Of course, success can attract jealousy, and gaming, like any business, has its fierce rivalries and dirty tricks-as Eve's husband, Roarke, one of U- Play's competitors, knows well. But Minnock was not naive, and quite capable of fighting back in the real world as well as the virtual one.
Eve and her team are about to enter the next level of police work, in a world where fantasy is the ultimate seduction-and the price of defeat is death. . .
MY REVIEW:
Fantasy in Death by J.D. RobbMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Bart Minnock is a founder of a gaming company called U-Play. He goes home after work to lose himself in a game and doesn't come out again. The next morning he is found dead in his locked room. He had been decapitated. His girlfriend is grief stricken and Lieutenant Eve Dallas is trying to figure out who and why. His best friends who also all seem to own part of the company all are devastated. He is liked by everyone and no one seems to have a grudge against him. I think this was my favorite book of this series so far. I liked the gaming concept in this book and all the virtual worlds and V goggles. Also still getting to know all the cops and characters from this series. Even though Eve is a no nonsense kick ass cop she still has feelings and love for her people.
