Book excerpt: A MEGACORP BACKSTAB... Argent is the best shadowrunner in the biz...with just one flaw: he's got a conscience. That's why he can't leave a chummer hanging. Only Andi Sencio is more than just a friend. She's his former partner—and lover. And now she's in the deepest drek of her life. Heading a datasnatch op gone bad, she's been abandoned by the megacorp she works for—and targeted for flatlining by two more. Unless Argent gets to her first... LEADS TO SHADOWRUNNER PAYBACK... Recruiting a top-notch team for the exfiltration, Argent is risking it all—his money, his reputation, and his life—for the woman who once walked away from him. It's a suicide mission through high-caliber hell. But that's never stopped the steel-armed street samurai before...
