Mystery
Former topnotch attorney Parker Stern, still crippled by
courtroom stage fright, takes on a dicey case for an elusive
video game designer known to the world only by the name of
"Poniard." In Poniard's blockbuster online video game,
Abduction!, a real-life movie mogul is charged with
kidnapping and murdering a beautiful actress who disappeared
in the 1980s. Predictably, the mogul--William "the
Conqueror" Bishop--has responded with a libel lawsuit. Now
it's up to Parker to defend the game designer in the suit. In defending Poniard, Parker discovers that people aren't
who they claim to be and that nothing is as it seems. At one
point, his client resorts to blackmail, threatening to
expose a dark secret about Parker. Then, many of the
potential witnesses who could have helped the case die
prematurely, and the survivors are too frightened to talk.
Parker begins to feel as if he's merely a character in a
video game, fighting malevolent Level Bosses who appear out
of nowhere and threaten to destroy him.
