COME FOR THE GAMES. STAY FOR THE MURDER.
A mystery in the Gordian Division universe.
The Weltall Tournament's professional VR games were supposed to be a symbol of cooperation between
SysGov and its militaristic neighbor, the Admin. But that was before star Admin player Elly Sako received a
death threat, written in blood next to a copy of her own severed head. The Admin's Department of Temporal
Investigation swiftly seizes control of the crime scene, and the tournament transforms into a flashpoint of
charged politics and conflicting jurisdictions.
SysPol Detective Isaac Cho and DTI Special Agent Susan Cantrell-partners in the officer exchange pro-
gram-are sent in to take charge of the investigation and bring the situation under control. But solving this
mystery won't be easy, and the pair struggles to determine who is telling the truth. A jilted relationship between
players soon explodes into signs of a far-reaching conspiracy, and the two detectives find themselves racing
against time before the tournament ends.
Because the killer will be the only one who wins, should they fail.
