N-snared

Charlie Noble is the manager of a gaming company. But he dreams of creating an intelligence-enhancing app like the world has never seen. So when a virtual reality noir detective game mysteriously appears on his desktop—a game that uses the very technology he needs for his dream project—he goes in search of the reclusive genius who created it.
The only one who knows the programmer is Nick, the star of the game, who is in prison for murder. Nick will only reveal the eccentric developer’s name if Charlie [slips into his VR skin and] plays the game to the end, which he swears will prove his innocence.
Reliving Nick’s dark investigation into an infidelity case is a torturous odyssey for Charlie, but there are more ominous consequences. Somebody does not want the case reopened, and Charlie finds himself in the crosshairs.
