In the power meat grinder that is Washington, D.C., the Blackstone Group controls political scavenger Emily Watson through barcode tattoos. When avenger Victor Stone scorches her skin with an electromagnetic pulse, a dying Emily scans the barcode on her collarbone, accidentally activating a nerve gas canister buried in an underground pipeline on Capitol Hill.Within 72 hours, a toxic fog containing genetically-targeted technology envelops Washington, specializing in killing politicians registered in the DNA bank. Victor discovers that the biochip under his burn scar is counting down, and a jailed and reborn Adam Crawford holds the key that will shut off all the gas valves-but that will permanently lock tens of billions of the Blackstone Group's dirty money into a blockchain tomb. The trio must choose from the ruins of power: destroy all evidence and be reborn, or save their arch-enemy in exchange for a filthy immortality.

Victor's private jet had just landed at JFK when the Bloomberg Alert suddenly broke the news that his hedge fund was shorting pharmaceutical stocks. It wasn't a coincidence that Emily had used thirty-seven fake accounts to create the illusion that the antigen testing market was collapsing, luring him into stepping into what he did best.

"Mr. Stone, AMGEN Pharmaceuticals' stock price is falling vertically." The trader's voice carried a high-frequency trill, "But our quantum computers show that all the trade orders came from..." Before the words left his mouth, the young assistant professor's head suddenly slammed down on the keyboard, cerebrospinal fluid flowing from his nostrils forming a miniature weir at the space bar.

Victor smelled the bitter almond odor if anything in the air. He yanked back his tie, the titanium buttons scanning the ventilation ducts for cyanide crystals-precisely calculated molecular weights, specific only to his genetic profile. It was a bio-customized assassination exclusive to the Blackstone Group, and the price was usually a fraction of the Congressional budget.
