The name of the game is a kidnapping

Higashino, Keigo, 1958-2017
Book
A battle-tested project leader at PR firm Cyberplan and a slippery bachelor, Sakuma sees sees himself as a player. His smug self-regard doesn't seem totally unfounded, both in love and at work. When his idea for a mini-theme park is dismissed as too costly and vacuous at the last minute by major client Nissei Auto, however, he seems to have met his match; Katsuragi, an heir and executive at the global carmaker, is back from a marketing stint in the U.S. with an authentic conviction that everything is a game. Once the man's daughter by a former mistress teams up with Sakuma so she can come into her inheritance in an expeditious manner - Juri is indeed her father's flesh and blood - we are good to go. The name of the game is kidnapping!
