Darkscan

So much for what you see is what you get.

New Year's Eve is the perfect time to demonstrate the sweet new features of your new futuristic smart-materials building. Maybe even at the stroke of midnight. But then the lights go out, the security systems go into overdrive, and every method of communication in and out of the building cuts off.

What's going on inside? Nobody knows.

But private detective Frank Mallory has been hired to find out. Or rather to find someone inside the building and bring them out.

Not the Templeton brothers, who own building as well as the second-biggest construction company in Minnesota. Not the genius savant wife of one of the brothers. But the wife's estranged sister, a historian who only went to the New Year's Eve party to try to patch things up. Lexie.

Who just happens to be married to the owner of the biggest construction company in Minnesota, Ed Rosnow.

Who just happens to have all the specs for the new smart building.

And has downloaded them to a pair of smart lenses produced by the Templeton brother and designed by Lexie's sister Lorna, the genius.

Wonder how Ed got those…

Or the location of the secret underground entrance to the building.

But Frank really doesn't need to know.

Get in. Find Lexie using the Darkscan lenses as an overlay map. Get her out.

It should be a simple job.

Right.
