Nightmare Thief

Autumn Reiniger expects something special for her twenty-first birthday. Daddys 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 shes 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. Its 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 simulation 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 Daddy doesnt know that someone has spotted his hedge funds bulging profits, and the path to those riches runs right through Daddys 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 Reinigers twenty-first birthday partya party she may never leave.
