Includes all four books in the completed Immersion Online series: The Noob, The Zealot, The Symbiont, and The Herald.
My name is Charlie Mason, but everyone just calls me Mace. I was a detective—and a damn good one—for the Special Crimes Unit for nearly twenty years before I was forced to retire. Unfortunately, my pension wasn't enough to pay for my daughter's college, so I went to work for Immersion Online, the hottest virtual reality game in the world, as an in-game Constable. I'll admit it! I knew squat about video games, leveling up, and strategies to max out my character's skills. What I did know, however, was how to solve crimes! The crimes should have been no big deal—just part of quest lines. Regrettably, the ones I had to deal with were just as challenging as the ones I had faced as a detective: tracking down the location of the most famous avatar in the game, battling fanatics who wanted to kick the players from the game for good, hunting a serial killer whose murders spread to the real world, to finally having to figure out how all of these pieces fit together. What these criminals didn't know was that my team—my deputy Tinsie, my golem Buddy, and my virtual assistant Havervill—and I were on the case! And we wouldn't stop until the guilty had been brought to justice.
