Autumn Reiniger expects something special for her
twenty-first birthday.
Daddy’s already bought her the sports car, the apartment,
and admission to
the private college where she parties away her weekends. Now
she wants
excitement, and she’s going to get it.
Her father signs up Autumn and five friends for an “ultimate
urban reality”
game: a simulated drug deal, manhunt, and jailbreak. It’s a
high-priced version
of cops and robbers, played with fake guns and fast cars on
the streets of
San Francisco. Edge Adventures alerts the SFPD ahead of time
that a “crime
situation” is underway, so the authorities can ignore the
squealing tires and
desperate cries for help.
Which is convenient for the gang of real kidnappers zeroing
in on their target
and a mammoth payday. Because what Daddy doesn’t know is
that someone
has spotted his hedge fund’s bulging profits, and the path
to those riches runs
right through Daddy’s Little Girl.
Working on a case nearby is forensic psychiatrist Jo Beckett
and her partner
Gabe Quintana. When the pair encounters a suspicious group
of men carting
six sullen college kids to the woods for a supposed
wilderness adventure,
alarm bells ring. Jo takes a closer look, and winds up with
an invite to Autumn
Reiniger’s twenty-first birthday party—a party they may
never leave.
