Murder, corruption and intrigue in a world on the brink of chaos! Ruthless gang warfare, salacious dens of vice and fearsome high-tech weaponry! In 2048, the rich live in Protected Zones. Outside the PZ walls, crime flourishes unchecked. Lieutenant Jeri Stone still believes the police can make a difference in the crime-infested slums outside the walls. When a solid citizen from inside the PZ is shot dead in the street by a relatively minor gang, Jeri goes after the killers. But the case quickly leads her to something much bigger and more deadly. Suddenly everyone is against her. The Chief, the politicians and the money men want her to drop the case. The criminals she's facing turn out to have more firepower than the police can handle. If she refuses to back down from the case - well, cops get killed in action sometimes.
