About this ebook

In this thriller in the #1 New York Times bestselling In Death series, it's game over for the criminals who cross Lieutenant Eve Dallas as she investigates the murder of a virtual reality wunderkind.

Bart Minnock, founder of the computer gaming giant U-Play, is found in his locked private playroom, in a pool of blood, his head separated from his body. Despite his violent end, Eve can’t find anyone—girlfriend and business partners included—who seemed to have a problem with the enthusiastic, high-spirited millionaire.

Of course 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 naïve, and he knew how to fight 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...

Ratings and reviews

Fantasy in Death gives a glimpse into the world of video games and gamers. It's fun seeing Eve a bit out of her element, which of course mames her rely more on Roarke and the computer geek aspect of bis personality. I also like the plot twist. Well done book and very entertaining.

This book is so in touch with VR and fantasy gaming. I think it touches on how far technology is going, and that's a little scary. I don't, however, think you could actually die from playing a "fantastical" game. I don't do these tech things, but this did make me want to try some VR goggles. An excellent read. Suzie

the whole series... a must read... J.d. aka Nora... you sure know how to tell a stoty!!!!!
