Hung Sun Photos: Fishing on Lake Del Valle

Flying the Coop

Game designer Bernard Walker finds his world taken hostage when police fail to solve a grisly murder. Desperate for the return of his new, million-dollar oceanfront view, he deploys his San Francisco startup's game-design tech — backed by jalapeño-infused hot dogs from a local minimart—to hunt down a highly elusive murderer.

Flying the Coop: The Video Game Mystery Novel pits video game designers against inept police officers, overpaid city officials, and irritating venture capitalists in a hilarious battle of wit, cunning, and vastly different tastes in hot dogs and tofu.

The book, by John Sailors, is the first in the OffCide Gamer Mystery Series.
