The crime seemed totally baffling until police followed a trail that led to the charming von Stein stepson, Chris Pritchard, and his brilliant, drug-using, Dungeons-\u0026amp;-Dragons playing friends at N.C. State University. Blood Games is the shattering true story of degraded young minds--and a son's gruesome greed turned horrifyingly real.
