Publisher's Synopsis
In Portland, Oregon, rookie detective Summer Ziegler is pitched headlong into her first major case. Two hundred miles away at Cedar Falls, a teenage girl is found naked and fatally injured in mountain forest. And in the Nevada desert, the mutilated corpse of a young man is discovered, his heart and eyes removed. A psychopathic killer is at large, driven by delusions of superhuman supremacy. He is the Overlord in the post-apocalyptic world of a role-playing computer game, and on a murderous spree... But even as Ziegler tries to unpick the killer's twisted logic, he lures her into a cat-and-mouse game with a spectacular climax of his own devising...
