Indiana Jackson is thirty-three years old and works in San Francisco at an alternative medicine clinic that attracts all sorts of characters, some of them skeptics, who fall for her candour and humility. Her teenage daughter, Amanda, likes noir literature and hopes to attend MIT, where she will be with Bradley, an old friend that she plans to marry, with or without his consent. In her free time, she plays Ripper, an online role playing game that involves solving real-life mysteries and crimes using information collected by Amanda's father, the Chief Inspector of the San Francisco police. Amanda plays the game via Skype with adolescents from all over the world and with her best friend, her grandfather Blake. Each player in the game has a virtual personality: Amanda is the game master, and Blake is her henchman; the others are Sherlock Holmes, Colonel Paddington, Esmeralda and the psychic Abatha. When Ripper's latest murder mystery -- the case of the misplaced bat -- begins to touch their real-world lives, Amanda and her friends know they must find the murderer before he can strike again.

Work Description

Las mujeres de la familia Jackson siempre han sabido que podían contar la una con la otra. A pesar de la fuerza del vínculo que las une, madre e hija son como la noche del día. Indiana es una atractiva bohemia de espíritu libre, sanadora especialista en Reiki y aromaterapia, y pese a llevar tiempo separada, sigue reacia a comprometerse con alguno de los hombres que la desean: ya sea Alan, el rico vástago de una de las familias miás importantes de San Francisco, o Ryan, un enigmático y traumatizado Navy SEAL. Si Indiana suele buscar el lado bueno de las personas, Amanda, siempre fascinada por el lado oscuro, tiende a ser más como su padre, inspector de policía. Brillante e introvertida, esta estudiante del último año de instituto anda siempre con una novela negra bajo el brazo al tiempo que lidera Ripper, un juego de rol que comparte con su abuelo y con amigos de todo el mundo. Sin embargo, todo se convulsionará cuando, tal como predijo la astróloga más reputada de San Francisco, una oleada de crímenes sacuda la ciudad. Amanda, con la ayuda inestimable de su abuelo y de todos los miembros del juego de Ripper, ejercerá de maestra de ceremonias para ayudar en la investigación de los asesinatos. El caso tomariá un cariz inesperado cuando Indiana sea secuestrada. Con la vida de su madre en vilo, Amanda deberá resolver, antes de que sea demasiado tarde, el misterio más complejo de su vida por medio de su juego.

Amanda, a teenage girl must unmask a serial killer in San Francisco through Ripper, the online mystery game she plays with her beloved grandfather and friends around the world.
