About

Welcome to the Pacific Rim, the new center of the civilized world. As the rest of the planet sinks toward economic and social disaster, the cities on the Rim have become a high tech paradise. Chief among them is Los Angeles, a sparkling metropolis attracting the lost souls from across a shattered continent. But beneath the sleek surface lies a labyrinthine underground feeding on the darkest human desires. Here the wealthy seek a variety of forbidden thrills through an elaborate and anonymous on-line computer system of "prowlers" -- masked simulations of their human users. For most users, prowlers are just a way to indulge their wildest fantasies. For others, they are the perfect tool to access the vast criminal underworld.

When a young executive of one of the world's most powerful corporations is found brutally slain, a retired information cop named McNihil is called in. The corporation believes the dead man's missing prowler still "alive" and they will do anything to get it back. McNihil knows he's walking into a trap, but even he doesn't realize how bad it really is. He will uncover a web of evil far more extensive than anyone could have imagined -- a vast conspiracy that threatens to blur forever the distincton between the dangerous world of noir and the safety of the daylight world.
