The Game has brought HP Petterson wealth and freedom, but his newly comfortable life is a little . . . unsatisfying. He misses the danger, and the adrenalin rush. When he meets the rich and beautiful Anna Argos in a luxurious Dubai hotel, life instantly gets more interesting. But there is something mysterious lurking beneath Anna's cool surface. And there's something unsettling about her cellphone . . .

Rebecca Normén is now heading up an elite bodyguard team and thinks she's put her personal demons behind her, but everything changes when she learns of a web forum containing threatening posts that obviously refer to her. As the walls close in on HP and Rebecca, old questions catch up with them. What is real? Whom can you trust? And how do you protect yourself from a threat whose existence you cannot prove?

      Henrik “HP” Pettersson, the hero of de la Motte’s high-tech trilogy that began with Game, doubles down in installment two, as he matches wits with the ruthless powers behind “the Game,” an alternate-reality game he was lured into playing four months earlier. In Dubai, HP meets Anna Argos, the glamorous cofounder of ArgosEye, an IT consultancy company in Stockholm, who disappears. HP risks returning home to Stockholm, where he goes undercover at ArgosEye in hopes of discovering, among other things, what connection Anna might have with the game. Meanwhile, HP’s sister, Rebecca Normén, finds herself suspended from Sweden’s Security Police while fighting trumped-up charges, as well as targeted by a mystery blogger who may be stalking her. As the dual story lines pinball off one another, the author, an IT security consultant, provides an insider’s peek at stealth corporate manipulation of social media while maximizing the rush of this heady, hallucinatory trip. Agent: Federico Ambrosini, Salomonsson Agency (Sweden).
