Seductive. Manipulative. Deadly.
Jade Dragon, the star of a blockbuster video game franchise, has come to life - and she’s killing in San Francisco. The first target is Dragonsoft president Toshigi Tasoto, murdered by a mysterious, leather-clad female assassin. As more employees fall victim, it becomes clear her vendetta is just beginning.
Like the ninja she emulates, the killer is a master of combat, stealth, and deception-as lethal with her bare hands as a samurai sword. On her trail are veteran detective Lakeysia Symons and her reckless, womanizing partner Kyle Travis. Their search leads them to Tasoto’s daughter Nicole, the brilliant game designer who created the character.
Nowhere is safe. Jade strikes at homes, workplaces, and even the police precinct. Nicole’s past is the key to solving the mystery. But is she an innocent pawn-or a scheming murderess?
