內容簡介
Book Scavenger《獵書遊戲》
愛倫坡+密碼學+……時下最流行的街頭尋寶？
一本從愛書人、推理迷，到遊戲玩家皆不忍釋卷的冒險小說
獵書遊戲是風靡全球的尋寶遊戲，但遊戲中尋找的不是寶藏，而是各式各樣的書。熱愛閱讀的玩家們透過解謎尋寶的競賽，與其他人交流對書籍的愛好。
對十二歲的艾蜜莉來說，舊金山無疑是最棒的城市，因為這裡不僅是獵書遊戲的發源地，還有機會親眼見到遊戲創辦人葛斯華德。然而，就在她搬到舊金山的第一天，就傳來葛斯華德遇襲昏迷不醒的消息，預計發表的新遊戲也被迫延期。
因緣際會下，艾蜜莉和新鄰居詹姆斯找到一本愛倫坡的《金甲蟲》，並且發現書裡暗藏玄機，很可能與葛斯華德來不及公布的新遊戲有關。為了解開謎底，艾蜜莉和詹姆斯鍥而不捨的追尋線索，渾然不知攻擊葛斯華德的凶手已經找上他們，危險也一步步逼近……
For twelve-year-old Emily, the best thing about moving to San Francisco is that it's the home city of her literary idol: Garrison Griswold, book publisher and creator of the online sensation Book Scavenger (a game where books are hidden in cities all over the country and clues to find them are revealed through puzzles). Upon her arrival, however, Emily learns that Griswold has been attacked and is now in a coma, and no one knows anything about the epic new game he had been poised to launch. Then Emily and her new friend James discover an odd book, which they come to believe is from Griswold himself, and might contain the only copy of his mysterious new game.
Racing against time, Emily and James rush from clue to clue, desperate to figure out the secret at the heart of Griswold's new game―before those who attacked Griswold come after them too.
