Synopsis
Assassination rocks Neo Babylon, leaving Police Commissioner Kim dead and Nick racing to nail the murderer before the city tears itself apart in paranoia. His investigation stands in the shadow of a greater crisis, however. Terrorist attacks strike with eerie timing and accuracy. Friends and suspects alike go missing when needed. The military bucks the law while protesting its innocence. Trust is worth more than gold, but Nick can't measure it and finds himself with only the robotic Archangels and police mainframes truly by his side. He can't help but wonder if he'll recognize his home after he solves this case. Or worse, if he'll be the one who steps forward and changes his city before it's broken beyond repair.
