✦ Synopsis

Product Description

In her best selling novels Quantum Moon and Opalite Moon, Denise Vitola created a nightmarish vision of the near future, an Earth with a minimum of peace, beauty and natural resources--and a maximum of government corruption, control and greed. Now Vitola returns to that gritty, desperate world. The world of Marshal Ty Merrick. As a violent hurricane heads for District One, three agents from the Office of Intelligence have massive strokes--simultaneously. Coincidence? Not a chance. When Ty investigates, she uncovers an assassin with strange powers and deadly cunning: the Manjinn. Now time is running out. The Manjinn has kidnapped the man Ty loves--the only man who knows the true nature of her lycanthropy. Outside, the storm rages. Inside, Ty edges to the brink of sanity. And the ultimate game with the Manjinn begins... "A rationalized lycanthrope...An offbeat and interesting major character, a fascinating and increasingly complex society, and a genuinely engrossing mystery..." Science Fiction Chronicle
