Dispatched one hundred eighty light-years from home, re-sleeved into a body in Bay City, Kovacs is thrown into the dark heart of a shady, far-reaching conspiracy that is vicious even by the standards of a society that treats “existence” as something that can be bought and sold. envoy Takeshi Kovacs has been killed before, but his last death was particularly painful.
