The Binge Crimes: Fatal Fantasy
Sony Music Entertainment
Renowned DNA scientist Dr. Robert Schwartz is found brutally murdered inside his secluded Virginia home in the weeks before Christmas 2001. As investigators dig in, a dark, paganistic theme hovers over the crime. As suspects emerge, a Live Action Role- Playing game, scripted by the least likely person imaginable, reveals a frightening subculture of young adults dabbling in the occult. Greed, control, manipulation and hatred unravel in an outrageous and unbelievable homicidal plot. Join investigative journalist and New York Times bestselling author M. William Phelps as he sorts out the deadly measures some will go to get what they want.
