Seattle Detective Miken Larsen'S Probe Into The Death Of A Young Woman In Chinatown Turns Into A Bloody Hunt For A Professional Killer Involved In Chinese Cybercrime And International Sex Slave Trafficking.
The young Chinese woman lying dead in the dank Seattle alley was murdered with no apparent motive. To find her killer Detective Miken Larsen must dive deep into the ugly world of human trafficking, and she soon discovers that young prostitutes are not the only commodity the traffickers smuggle. The CIA has a big piece of the puzzle, but their agenda does not include sharing information with local cops-not even when three more seemingly unconnected people die.
