Secrets turn deadly in the streets of Washington D.C. When a young man scales a ten-story building assisted by high tech military-grade gear and falls to his death below, private investigator Lara Kingsley knows her powerful Chinese client will demand some answers. But she doesn't realize she's about to get swept into a deadly, international technology race between the United States and China. As Lara begins a desperate mission to prove the man's death was a homicide and restore her professional reputation, she uncovers a Top Secret Pentagon project and confronts a complex world of nanotechnology, neural implants, and passenger drones. To solve the murder and stop Chinese operatives from stealing vital defense technologies, Lara must enlist the help of her AI-powered virtual assistant, her ex-boyfriend, and an ill-tempered detective from the D.C. Metropolitan police. Just how far will Lara go to protect national security and prevent China from gaining critical advantages on the battlefield of the future?
