Fantasy in Death Bart Minnock, founder of the computer gaming giant U-Play, enters his private room, and eagerly can�t wait to lose himself in an imaginary world, to take on 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 Lieutenant Eve Dallas has ever faced, and it is not a game....
