Book description
Dore Konstantin is officer in charge of TechnoCrime, Artificial Reality
Division and, as if handling a heavy case-load almost single-handed
wasn't enough, she's now got a stalker to deal with. Extremely wealthy
Hasting Dervish is the stalker according to Susannah Ell -- and she
should know. Firstly, she's the one being stalked; secondly, she used to
be married to Dervish. Worse, Susannah claims he's swapped places with
an ambitious AI, and now Dervish has all the processing power he needs
to infiltrate every line of code in Susannah's AR design studio.
Meanwhile the AI is using Dervish's body as a base to visit AR, and
hanging out in the gambling casinos of the Lowdown Hong Kong mound. This
is where Goku of a Japanese law-enforcement agency, comes in. Since he
likes going into AR in the persona of a nine-year-old kid, this really
makes Konstantin unhappy. But if she's going to get the goods on
Hastings Dervish, she'll have to deal with Goku.
