This is the dilemma facing young detectives Jessica Hunter and Kenta Higashi when they discover a sinister organization known as The Syndicate is behind a brutal murder in Osaka.
Fresh from saving the British School of Kyoto from a vicious attack, the two school friends are lauded as heroes, but they alone know the real perpetrators are still at large. When a talented young hacker is found dead in Osaka, Jessica is the first to link it to The Syndicate, whose powerful network runs far wider and deeper than even she could have imagined.
Why are they building a secret army? And what is The Syndicate's connection to a major organization in Osaka?
Outgunned on every level and surrounded on all sides by an invisible foe that will stop at nothing, Hunter and Higashi must live on their wits if they want to survive.
