When murder crashes the Games and Playthings Exhibition, someone's not toying around. Dolls, constructions sets, stuffed animals, craft kits, and more are the featured displays in the annual Games and Playthings Trade Show at the Washington D. C. Commerce and Market Center, where vendors seek to convince retail buyers to stock their products. Murder and destruction aren't supposed to be on the program. The hit-and-run death of an exhibitor overshadows what should be a fun few days of giveaways, games, and demos. A gun hidden in a bin of stuffed animals, a damaged show car, and a drone knocking over the PlayBlox displays launch the chaos created by a clever but unhinged vandal. Settling disputes and fielding complaints are all in a day's work for Heather McNeil, assistant to the director of the Market Center. Sussing out murder suspects to help the police is way beyond her job description, especially while trying to corner a vandal before the damage gets worse. Keeping the show running despite the mayhem will pit her and her allies, especially Scott Brandon, the Center's handsome but enigmatic security officer, against someone playing a deadly game.
