Welcome to the Future... of Madness and Murder

It is a new century built on chaos. Citizens have divided into violent warring factions. Environmental self-destruction has taken its toll by the millions. And two tattooed corpses chained together have been dragged from the Bay.
Some things never change.

The bodies were found in pairs. Planted on the bottom of the Bay. Chained together in a death embrace. Tattooed with angel wings.

It was the kind of sleazoid crime that made Tanner leave the force years ago. It was also the kind of sleazoid crime that would drag Tanner back. On the beat. Into the streets. Straight to hell.

Only Tanner, an ex-cop turned smuggler, knows the Chain Killer’s labyrinth. But only the punk urchin Sookie can lead him there — to a terminus called The Tenderloin. Here the Angel of Death resides. Here the ultimate crimes of the future are born...

And only here can they be stopped.

Award-winner Richard Paul Russo creates a stunning future world of high-tech murder, cybernetic terror and raw human emotion - a masterwork of science fiction and suspense.
