The Mail On Sunday reports on the disappearance of Eidos' founder Charles Cornwall and the playboy lifestyle he had indulged in. Sounds like a case for Eidos' mascot Lara Croft, pictured.
The plot of a computer game could not be more outlandish. A dotcom millionaire cashes in at the height of the boom, pocketing millions and begins a playboy lifestyle in sunny South Africa.
For Charles Cornwall, the founder of Eidos - the company behind the blockbusting Tomb Raider computer games - his dream had become reality.
But within four years of moving to paradise, Cornwall's business and private life had been torn apart by murder, fraud allegations and a bitter divorce from his wife.
Now 45-year-old Cornwall has disappeared. Thought to be lying low in Britain, he is being hunted by creditors who claim he owes about £10m.
